"The first being genetic and poverty. Many children who are born in poor families, do not have proper physical development in their childhood and as such they are not good in their studies. Researchers and psychologist have worked on this problem and have come to the conclusion that slow learners need special attention from the teachers and the teachers also need to adopt special methods of teaching to teach the slow learners. This book considers this problem in great detail." (jacket)
