you watch too many movies.. lol... that is very very very very very rare... in fact, its actually sort of illegal and hardly ever gets done because of that!!! And usualy parents that went to a great university, the child is generally as hard working and as smart as the parents if not better (apart from George W. Bush, he's father was great, but he's a twat lol)

and even if it does happen, they still have to perform and not get chucked out, so it doesn't matter anyway, cos they work hard to stay there!
