Two posts:
1. "...everyone can stop blaming school staff for the students' poor performance, given that the heightened soil levels for these chemicals are known to impair physical and cognitive development."
2. "The use of lead in paint is just another example of us stupid humans...."
The Romans received extensive exposure to lead via their practice of using lead in pipes and drinking vessels. The cognitive results are speculated to have contributed to the downfall of the Romans. But they still performed at a very high level.
The British empire. Imagine the exposure to chemicals in London in 1600. But that society produced a never-ending roster of bright minds.
I'd hate to see the plight of our poor performing students in East Hawaii--and poor performing adults--be blamed on chemical exposure.
More likely exposures: Too much time getting high. Smoking ice and excessive amounts of marijuana by a variety of individuals. Lack of industriousness and work ethic in adults, which translates into the same for their children. Lack of interest in education. Etc, etc.
