General population (GP), i.e., public teachers and pupils in aggregate, are
roughly one-sigma lower in IQ relative to HN readers. So yes, school is too

They exist, it just needs putting in a little bit of effort to look them up. > yet I can name […] only one of [educational systems] I am also not an expert in pedagogy, but I can name: education in the home by parental units and private teachers, Waldorf, Montessori, democratic schools, MOOC. It would be interesting to find out how you would end up in a situation where you could not.
