Agreed, Val this isn't surprising.
Bill Gates, while clearly bright, would never have got the sweetheart deal that he got with IBM without family connections.
Even Obama may not have been POTUS had he not been born into an affluent family and sent to an elite prep school.
Higher SES families have more connections to opportunities and are more likely to be able to afford to create them when they are not offered by the Govt.
This is why I am a big proponent of GT testing and GT programs for ALL kids regardless of parental SES.
