      The "problem" being that the more educated people are, the fewer children they have and that's a correlation that actually holds pretty well.

      The whole "people should have more children and make sure they are educated and smart" is self-contradictory: it's either more kids lower-education or fewer kids higher-education.

      It's magical thinking to expect that the people capable of "making sure they're educated and smart" will have many children.
