"This is a wake-up call," Knight said. "It's not just that these kids are poor and more likely to have health problems, but they might actually not be getting full brain development from the stressful and relatively impoverished environment associated with low socioeconomic status: fewer books, less reading, fewer games, fewer visits to museums."
Do they really think that man in his natural state = books, games, and museums? The natural state of man is grubbing for food and running from predators. It's civilization that has enabled some of us to move to this next level of books, games, and museums.
Although I can tell you, as a teacher, even the poorest kids have plenty of games. They're all electronic, but they all seem to have them. And they play with them incessantly.
It’s nothing more or less than elitism, which is aryanism in another garb, but still human grading, one class deciding what fitness for suitable human existence is. Social darwinism.
You probably don’t agree, b/c you’re a teacher.
