I think that meritocracy is what will lead to success, and not good genes. It is possible to have a parent that has graduated from a top university, and have clever children too. However, that does not mean it is the majority. I have friends whom parents are extremely clever and wealthy, but they only know how to spend the money of their parents, and not study hard. Therefore, they turn out not to be so smart. Thus, good genes does not usually lead to good children.
I also have friends whom parents are not wealthy, but they worked extremely hard and thus they got into a good secondary school. This shows that meritocracy is what makes people successful in life. In fact, some children of clever parents worked extremely hard to be like their parents, thus achieving success. This is meritocracy too.
Therefore, I think that meritocracy is what leads children into achieving success instead of their parents having good genes.
