Huh. TIL I guess. That study cites a bunch of credible sources at least, but I haven't had a chance to dig into the findings in detail yet.
That said, even per the cited paper, the difference between your kids growing up dumb or smart is primarily environmental. So, that supports my original point: Given proper education there's a good chance these kids will grow up to surpass their parents.
