re: Calif. releases latest test scores

I think genetics play a part in intelligence and academic success. I think environment plays a much bigger part. Parents with a high IQ are likely going to maintain an environment for their kids that helps them succeed. Parents with a lower IQ will have a tougher time doing that. Correlation without causation. The genetics aren't necessarily the cause, but there is a correlation.

He won't be honest. It would also mean that genetics play no part in cystic fibrosis, or height, or any other trait/disease that could be passed on to a child.
