The relation between parents and children can be interpreted as either nature or nurture. You get your parents' genes, but you also live with them for the most important years of your life developmentally.
Any relation between parents and children is not necessarily a victory for genetics over education.

b/s. My mother was far from being the brightest person in the world, and my IQ measured to be bordeline genius.

I love how everyone says "borderline genius" instead of just giving the actual number. Must you ignore that every IQ test measures genius at a different number? I've heard of one that puts it at 130 (laughable).

IQ tests are worthless anyways. You can tell whether someone is smart without any tests.

Okay, you want a number? The guy who admin'd the test said that the "genius" number in 160 or above. My IQ is 159. DANG IT I always fall JUST BARELY short!!!

Thank you. Now was that so hard? 159--see. True 160 is the generally accepted "genius" level, but some tests put it lower (much to my chagrin). Then again, I've only taken a few IQ tests in my life--and none serious. Somewhere around 150 is what thespark.com's newest IQ test gave me (which, appearantly, doesn't exist anymore). So, I can't really say, as that's not the best place to take an IQ test... but I assume it's in that neighborhood.
