The more you make, the more you value education, and the more likely you are to be sure your kids are educated.

This is news?

Bright parents earn more on average, and also produce bright children who score well.

Smart people are generally educated and wealthier and ten to have smart kids.

Stupid people tend to have lower skilled jobs and stupid kids.

Is that fact somehow lost on this author? She is implying cause and effect in the exact wrong direction.

(for the stupider readers- yes, I know RANDOM CHANCE will sometimes benefit a genius born to poor idiots, but heredity and evolution (!!!yes libtards love evolution, right?) suggest it is just that- random)

I wonder if they thought of that?

What nonsense and hokum. The SATs test the likelihood that you will succeed in college....

The fact that education may or may not be valued by those in lower income levels is not a new concept. Not every one should go to college. If you want to work hard and learn you will do well. If you want to sit around and smoke dope and talk commie smack you will become president

um... so...

basically ....

this shows that the children of intelligent parents are more intelligent than the children of idiot parents...

and this is shocking news ?

Am I the only one who finds this kind of thing absolutely frustrating!?!?

Would ANYONE be shocked if the child of Michael Jordan turned out to be good at basketball?!

Then why... WHY!? would anyone be shocked that the child of super intelligent parents turned out to be smart?!?

This PC nonsense is CRAP!

People are DIFFERENT!!!!!

Accept that FACT! and lets move on ! STOP lying and saying everyone is the same. THEY ARE NOT! They may all be deserving of the same fair treatment under the law, and all should be treated with decency. But to constantly push this false meme that everyone is equally intelligent is pure and utter hogwash!

Ah, but the new part now is the reasoning for the results - College SAT favors rich, educated families

See? It's not hard work or discipline that matters, it's that the test favors one group over another. Damn racist test!!

What this neglects is most successful educated families value the knowledge and learning process education provides. That is why they put their resources and efforts into having their children in successful education programs.

Could it have something to do with smarter people who make more money produce smarter children?

No kidding. The only obvious solution is to dumb down the SAT so that feral yutes from the hoods can easily pass it.

I didn’t think it was even possible to dumb down college any further. How wrong I was.

All this is going to do is raise the scores by about 20% across-the-board. The ones at the bottom will still be at the bottom.

It is not uncommon for liberals, and especially reporters for the main lamestream media outlets, to be exactly 180 degrees back-asswards on key points. It's sort of their calling card, actually.

Nonsense. I scored a 1350 and I was as poor as a church mouse.
