assumes smart people breed smart kids and stupid people breed stupid kids

From a "nature + nurture" point of view in a primitive world, it can be argued that people who strike the combo, are "more likely" to both pass on their own genetic predisposition, and be "more prepared" to raise their kids up to a similar standard.

In a modern world though, I'd still rather have professional teachers take care of the nurture part, and shut up about nature at least until someone can unequivocally point to the "smartness genes"... at which point I'd ask for a GMO cat with a 200 IQ, yay!
