Yes basically environmental influences sets the children on the course of the parents.

I suspect the effect is amplified by the parents teaching scientific facts and reasoning at a younger age as well as insisting on and supporting the children in learning science.

Also, parents knowing how positive of an impact it has on their long term careers and thus finance, will push twice as hard their children in that direction.

What I don't understand is why people aren't mentionning the fact that if your parents went to those schools there is no way they are "common intelligence" so it's no wonder their kids is too. Maybe people don't know that these schools accept students purely on blind results in a heavy contest ?
