The U.S. exports norms in many sectors but not all. How many other nations are using the imperial system instead of metric? How many other nations are following our approaches to education, judging by how they're trouncing us in the PISA scores?

To understand the quality of our education system, you have to account for race. https://www.unz.com/isteve/the-new-2018-pisa-school-test-sco...
The United States has been (and will be for another two or three years) the cultural center of the world. We export to everyone. That includes our mode of thinking and the mode of thought we teach our children.

The oldest data presented was from the mid 70s. We'd need data going back to the turn of the last century to get a good feel for how IQ has relative to education policy changes. The time-scale they claim is ~110 years since education policy in the US started changing.
