To answer this dilemma, this paper examines the impact of parental education to their offspring to school with a discontinuity in the achievement of parental education level. The discontinuity arises from changes in the minimum school-leaving age of the legislation took place in the seventies in Britain. This strategy shows the effect of parental education for parents with a lower taste for Education and may not be the general social returns of parental education. However, the policies are more targeted children at risk, not maximize their educational opportunities, the estimates of interest. In contrast to recent evidence, we find a positive effect of both parents in their children's school education achievements, if based on the natural parents. Step parents have no or a negative impact on children's education. In most cases, the endogeneity of parental education is rejected. These estimates that significant social returns of education to same-sex parent. The estimates are robust to the introduction of additional controls for income, labour force participation, fertility and environment quality, indicating that the effect of parental education is direct.
