partly due to the flynn effect. mostly to do with culture. on a different matter - how do you land 2 daft men who are poor socially? what does that say about you?

Dear medical wazuans,i have been thinking and overthinking of a situation i myself is in.
I have 2 sons.Different fathers.
They are both extremely brilliant academically.
1st son never gets below number 3 in class.He is in class 7.Average score is 420 out of 500 always.
2nd son is more brilliant than the 1st.He has never been number 2 in his life.always number 1.Average score is 580 out of 600.
However this is what puzzles me.Father 1 was a below average in class and socially.The only thing that helped him in life is that his folks were loaded...otherwise.....
Father 2 was more daft academically and incoherent socially.
Mother(me) am just an average student and i hate school.Am doing my masters because i have to and i die a thousand deaths when i think of school.
So help me...where did the kids get those brains from?certainly not me nor the fathers.....My family line is not brilliant minded either


This must be one of those concoctions designed to keep Wazua lively. For example, why pose the question to the 'medically inclined'? Because you want a 'medical explanation'? Like you've been having 'brilliance recessive alleles' from both fathers and your family? Or 'daft genes' mutated?

What if you're so daft that no explanation would be comprehensible?

But may be you are sincere. 700 out 700 marks doesn't account for academic brilliance. Neither does 50 out of 700 prove daftness. An intelligent child can get low marks to punish the parent, and a foolish one can get all the marks to be bought for a bike and French fries.

The 'daft' fathers could even be paying for the 'impressive results' in a bid to win you back.

You can also take some DNA tests to make sure that you didn't steal the children 'by mistake'.

Nature vs Nurture.

What determines a child's intelligence?

@Tycho, this one is for you to answer.

The distinction between nature and nurture is zero. What we have is self consciousness and will to power. Politics.

Shame on you I can already guess who this REALLY is. She's said severally she's a single parent. And yes she's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I can also guess the baby daddy's profession. She's expressed a severe form of dislike for people of the same profession.

I am stuck in a hotel room and am certain my neighbors are wondering what the hell I'am smoking! The comments here are just crazy.

The 1st one can be understood but why did you downgrade to the second one?
