[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were getting an egg donor, I'd want someone with an Ivy League education. But in reality, I know damn well that I value street smarts and creativity over book smarts.

Did Billy Joel even graduate from high school?[b] I know Albert Einstein barely made it through. [/b]Didn't Mark Zuckerberg drop out of Harvard?

I'd worry a thousand times more about alcoholism and mental illness running in their families than how much education they had. [/quote]

This isn't true.  Einstein was a good student.  He didn't do well in an exam because he wasn't fluent in French, which the test was given in.  Also, Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard so obviously he is smart.  I think it is a combination of both.  Parents who talk and read to their children do improve their kids' intelligence.   [/quote]

Zuckerberg did not drop out because he could not keep up. He dropped out to become a billionaire at a younger age. Plus he can own Harvard if he wants too. He is a genius thanks to his genes. As are all the other famous dropouts.[/quote]
