AP Central - Understanding Heritability

http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/members/homepage/45829.html

3. Heritability and inherited are nearly the opposite in meaning. This statement is true. Although heritability might seem like it reflects how inherited a trait is, it doesn't do this at all. Actually, it is paradoxical. The more inherited a trait is, the less heritable it is. So if the liberal establishment ever gets schools to be relatively equal in terms of facilities, materials, and instructional staff, then the heritability of student achievement would increase. Although it might seem that inherited events are highly heritable, they are not.
