This paper has several goals. First, I add to the growing literature documenting the relationship between health during childhood and adolescence and later educational success. Secondly, I examine variation in this relationship by social status. Are the families of children with a health disadvantage more able to mitigate the negative consequences of that condition if they are socially advantaged? Or do children in these families suffer an equal or greater disadvantage? Third, I evaluate the role of two social mechanisms that may mediate the connection between children's health and their educational attainment. Finally, I consider the extent to which health disparities among children account for racial disparities in children's educational achievement. |
