Job interviews in the future ought to include parental history. If you were born poor, you go to the end of the line.

My feelings is the kids with a lower IQ usually come from a low IQ mother and/or father (genes).

I don't think IQ is based on genetics; I think it's based on fostering good and relevant cognitive and communication skills in very early childhood development.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Language development plays a huge (probably dominant) role in how humans develop cognitively. There is a strong research base documenting significant language/vocabulary deficits of kids growing up in poverty as compared to middle/upper class kids.
