As for intelligence and trading . . . i wasn't aware that following the crowd required intelligence.
As for schools and worth; lets just say I see a lot of foreign students at most of the State college/university campuses I visit. But private school? oh, no, that's not worth it unless you go to one of the best. IMO.
Average in state public tuition: about 5K/year
Average out of state public tuition: about 10K
Average private school tuition: about 25K
(for two year schools it's about half that)
Our primary ed might be shit, but our post-secondary ed is one of the few things we can honestly say we are still #1 in the nation with.

My first job as a professor was at an Ivy League university. The students were happy to be taught, and we, their teachers, were happy to be teaching them. Whatever portion of their time and energy was being eaten up by social commitmentsâwhich may have been huge, but about which I was ignorantâthey seemed earnestly and unproblematically engaged with the academic experience. If I was naïve about this, they were gracious enough not to disabuse me. None of us ever questioned the importance of what we were doing.
At a certain appointed hour, the university decided to make its way in the world without me, and we parted company. I was assured that there were no hard feelings. I was fortunate to get a position in a public university system, at a college with an overworked faculty, an army of part-time instructors, and sixteen thousand students. Many of these students were the first in their families to attend college, and any distractions they had were not social. Many of them worked, and some had complicated family responsibilities.

Yeah, gravity and magnetism are liberal concepts that were concocted to replace the real and only force that exists, namely God.
Yeah... either "fairly high" or "very low".
