Exactly? Education happens in school, college, friends, community and, partially, at home.

The concept that "my kids" are better than other people kids because they are like me is extremely silly on many levels. They might not share your ideals and even if they do, it promotes a single line of thinking.

The more we learn about iq the more heritable we believe it to be. Up to 80-85% in more recent studies

Which is why it’s weird so many kids from other countries want to come here for their higher studies, right?

Not sure I get your point. I don't think it's weird at all. Because:

> That happens to every country

Both your sources are for the US only. How did you get to 'every country'?
