You must have attended a public school if you don't understand that geentic superiority leads to economic success. My older kid goes to a private school. The parents are obviously genetically superior to public school parents.
Stop wallowing around in determinism if you expect to get anywhere.
And the reason it costs so much to send a kid to private school is that everyone's already paying for a more expensive public school thanks to all the taxes.
Push vouchers. What's the cryptorelevance of your comments, anyway?
Without vouchers, you don't say anything about the intelligence of your test subjects; to a _very_ large degree, intelligence isn't genetic. Or it helps for the first five minutes, but after that you're on your own. "The world is full of unrewarded genius..."
So if I'm economically successful it'll change my genes?
I guess this is the famous Russian belief in Lamarkianism in action. No, on the contrary, sending poor kids to good schools on scholarships does not improve their genes. They tend to become drug dealers.
At the private school I went to this was not the case. Only the spoiled rich kids were that stupid, although by your definitions, they should have been smarter than that.
