Genetic link between family SES and children's educational achievement
I have always wondered what exactly is going on in society:<p>People in the US, more so than other countries, have a plausible chance of going to college, even if it takes going in to massive debt.<p>Then, they will go on to find a mate who is likely also college educated, and in a similar income bracket.<p>Over time, doesn&#x27;t this mean that we&#x27;re breeding (for lack of a better term) a class of people who are a) capable of being educated and b) seek out education? Doesn&#x27;t this only widen the achievement gap?<p>Not proposing a solution, but I suspect if we were to take this stuff seriously, we could make serious inroads to addressing inequality.<p>On the other hand, as a country we rightfully (IMO) believe everyone is equal and work hard to provide opportunity for everyone.<p>What&#x27;s the right move here?
