And there is research that say that having a mother with a higher degree makes the kid smarter, it was in a thread here on TWW but I can't find it right now.

"Updated: The Department of Education is refuting a claim by a California man who said a SWAT team broke down his door in a search for evidence of his estranged wife’s defaulted student loans. The Department of Education said in a statement that its inspector general did carry out a search warrant, but the raid was related to a criminal investigation, Reason.com reports. Kenneth Wright of Stockton had told News10/KXTV that the SWAT team entered his home at about 6 a.m. on Tuesday, grabbing him and his three children and forcing them into a patrol car while police searched the home. Wright had maintained the officers were looking for his wife, who had defaulted on student loans. "

Women with post-grad education have smarter kids, on average, because women with post-grad education are smarter, on average. Smart, motivated people have more smart, motivated kids.

Whether that smart, motivated mom went to grad school has no bearing.

The statistic you would need is a skills gap in the children of women with similar profiles of achievement, where some went to grad school and others did not.
