What is Missing

“Silenced voices” is an oft-used metaphorical term for marginalized and oppressed peoples. It pervades studies and literature related to important issues of social justice. However, recent research has prompted a literal reconceptualization of the term, raising the question: Are we aware and attentive to voices that are silent and not silenced? This reflective piece is a call to attention that best practices result from empirically based results of studies but on a population of students that attend school on a regular basis. As we know, this population is limited, so this chapter draws attention to limitations of data from researchers who have restrictions to certain populations, including minors.
