Children under poverty line in small age do work to earn money for food. They don't aware about education and they don't have money to do education which lack them to study. Poverty also leads to discrimination and failure of grasping opportunities. Government has now launch awareness programs, educate all citizens and create as many fair employment opportunities as possible to raise each family’s living standards at a fast pace.<br />Rum Tanhttps://smiletutor.sg/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458172893016186479.post-6231867554454217092014-07-02T03:14:07.561-04:002014-07-02T03:14:07.561-04:00Thats one of a great post I read after a long time...Thats one of a great post I read after a long time.

The measures of infant cognitive ability (Bayley scales etc) are very unreliable and the relative role of genetic factors increases greatly as the child matures into adolescence and adulthood.<br /><br />The "achievement gaps" are very likely to be manifestations of the ethnoracial group differences and the social class differences in IQ (general cognitive ability).<br /><br />Before you dismiss the role of genetics and IQ in individual and social class variation in performance on standardized test scores you should carefully read the works of hereditarian scholars such as Robert Plomin, Ian Deary, Dorret Boomsma, Matt McGue, John DeFries, and Nick Martin.<br /><br />Before you dismiss the role of genetics and IQ in ethnoracial group variation in performance on standardized test scores you should carefully read the works of hereditarian scholars such as Hans Eysenck, Arthur Jensen, Phil Rushton, Richard Lynn, Linda Gottfredson, Richard Herrnstein, Sandra Scarr, Heiner Rindermann, David C. Rowe and Brian Pesta.<br /><br />Currently there are two large efforts to utilize genomic sequencing technology to discover the gene allele differences that cause human variation in IQ. One project is led by Steve Hsu (he is VP for research at Michigan State Univ but the IQ gene project is mostly occurring at the Chinese genomic research institute known as the "BGI") and the other research project is led by Jonathan Rothman (inventor of the Ion Torrent genomic sequencing machine).
