>IMO the parents attitude and nurturing at home is 2x as important Agreed. And since education is inseparable from a child's well-being and general development, it remains the responsibility of parents.

Try to take that away and you're putting the State in loco parentis -- a role beyond its bureaucratic capacity to manage.
