Average

A little above being poor
Varying glory in mediocrity’s range
Encounters satisfaction with lots more to accomplish
Rated as achieving a feat, nowhere near enough
Away from extremities, deviating towards the middle
Gain isn’t much but with acceptance of success
Even with all these, it’s still worth an encouraging well-done

Yes, I agree and too often the, "well done", is left undone. I think that a lot more children could be above average; excelling dramatically, if they were encouraged properly and more often. Beautifully done, Funom.
