> fertility rate and intelligence tend to be inversely correlated
They are now, but they didn't used to be.... Gregory Clarke's excellent "Farewell to Alms' includes tons of excellent evidence that intelligence and fertility were positively correlated for many many centuries.
Now, there is currently worry about dysgenics (i.e. the movie "Idiocracy") as a result of the switch to them being inversely correlated.
As you say, "pushes." Well anybody can get pushed in the cafeteria or the hallway. You don't have to do things because somebody pushed you.
You have to look at the larger picture: what happens to school personnel who do NOT push college? Are they not limiting the ambition of the kids? Are they doing their job properly? No. Meaning: they HAVE to say these things. They MUST push this.
Yes, it is tough on the young and inexperienced.

That doesn't make you a lawyer, but a very smart undergrad level person, if you ponder all of it.
I feel a little bit bad writing this but I have read (second-hand) that The Ultimate Resource 2 is the superior book.
