谁来关心我们的乡村儿童？  答案就在眼前，但是没有答案。

今天science 专门一篇文章（features）来关心我们的儿童，如下：

有几个数字

乡村儿童中，有15%的父母在外地打工，有23%的父亲在外母亲在家，6%的是母亲在外打工。

对于留守儿童，现实情况是这样的：失学早，营养不良，得不到关怀！主要是因为祖父母原因。

Left-behind children tend to leave school early, eat poorly, and have little cognitive stimulation in the crucial first years of life. Grandparents, with limited education themselves, are poorly equipped to read to the next generation. They sometimes carry

swaddled infants on their backs while working their fields, which delays infant motor development, Young says.

三分之一是失学儿童！！

哎，只能叹息！

当年我也是和这些差不多，只不过生活有保障。身边同学是大批的失学！
