"Your childrens' education IS your responsibility, primarily. "
But if a parent fails in that responsibility, who will be there to ensure the child does not fall through the cracks? A parent should also be fundamentally responsible for ensuring that his/her child has food on the table and a roof over the head. If a parent fails to provide these things, should society allow that child to starve and freeze? At what point does society also bear some responsibility?
"Wow. Honestly I don't think that's humanly possible."
I don't think it's humanly possible to expect all parents to be able to help their children with their education, be it tutoring themselves or providing outside tutoring. Some children will fall through the cracks, regardless. There is no such thing as perfection when it comes to humans. However, I think it is more likely that the majority of children will receive a decent education if teachers do not automatically assume that children will get support at home.
"That's a valid worry, but meanwhile you have to do your best to get your children their own best possible education."
I'm not terribly worried about my kids. They've got an over-abundance of resources and opportunities. I do worry about what is happening to many other children.

Yes as I said earlier, it's an example of a bigger issue...the bigger issue being the teacher and the teaching methods.

My supervisor knows all of the projects I'm working on.

No.
Are you saying you've never had to go back over a unit or material in any subject for either of your children?
