A properly educated idiot (sounds funny i know) has a decent chance at reading an average child. Average people regularly raise children to be above average. Grandpa might still be retarded but there is hope for the grandchildren.
Subsequent generations average towards the mean of the genetic heritage, undortunately. I think maybe the use of IQ was misplaced here. Certainly having rudimentary schooling is always preferred, but it doesn't raise IQ. Ultimately it won't sustain a democracy. 90+ is required.

Unfortunately, IQ and schooling are not directly tied. You can't increase IQ by education.
