Stop that, Sarah. It helps no one. I laid the babies tenderly on the lining of my cloak and folded it around them. You must go and fetch a priest. These poor children should at least be buried properly. ... 

The most reasonable explanation of the results is that among poor children genetic differences contribute almost nothing to the measured IQ variance because environmental damage, both fetal and postnatal, overwhelms all other variables in accounting for IQ variation. In contrast, in the middle and upper classes, in which fetal and postnatal damage to the nervous system is much reduced and hardly variable from one family to the next, genetic differences account for most of the variation in IQ. 

It seems self-evident that psychiatric disorders have social consequences for the individual. One consequence is truncated education.74 But the degree and nature of the social consequences of psychiatric disorders vary with socioeconomic status poor children with psychiatric disorders are not subject to the same constraints and consequences as children with psychiatric... 

Second, those principally afflicted were often but not exclusively outside the mainstream of pediatric practice. It is of no surprise that the earliest findings of childhood lead poisonings were in urban poor children in older and... 

Lessons. The government made substantial efforts and was able to increase the participation of poor children in the program, but some work remains to be done to reach those poor families without proper documentation. More work also has to be done to reduce the rate of dropouts from the program, which are likely to occur when the primary caregiver changes, often because of death from AIDS.

The question of whether to target categorically or by need arises for orphans and vulnerable children as it does for the elderly. In terms of accuracy, categorical targeting to orphans or foster children will suffer from high errors of inclusion and exclusion. Deaths, especially from AIDS, are not concentrated among the poor, but rather are spread across the welfare distribution thus orphans and vulnerable children will be found in families at all income levels. Of course, many of the countries greatly affected by AIDS were poor already, so they have many very poor children who are not orphans or vulnerable children. 

These Roman law rules clearly had in mind orphans of the senatorial and equestrian class and of wealthy families in the provinces. They had not been framed to offer protection to exposed infants or to poor children who had lost their parents. ... 

With regard to the teachers at the Orphanotropheion, the sources provide a few details about the bureaucratic organization of the staff With regard to the students—the orphans and poor children accepted at the school—on the other hand, the surviving documents offer al-... 

Ever attentive to practical matters, Bardi took his interest in public education into his own hands by opening a free school in 1818 for poor children. He also furthered hopes for the future of the Museum by continuing to enrich its mineral collections at his own expense. 

In addition to fulfilling important official duties, Gazzeri never forgot the education of the poor, founding and presiding over kindergartens for poor children. 

However, such a positive assertion is not the only interpretation. A valid argument exists for reverse causality, whereby relatively poor children of lower IQ may, either by their behaviour or their social environment, be more prone to lead exposure during their earlier years. Cross-sectional studies can never account for such effects of low IQ on lead uptake a fruitful development has been to undertake prospective studies of birth cohorts which can relate a longitudinal assessment of lead exposure from birth to subsequent measures of neuropsychological development. Unfortunately, many of the longitudinal...
