Maybe. But what about the children whose parents don't have the capacity? You assume your, no doubt, high level of education and your certainly above-average intellect.

It’s not a maybe it’s a fact. If a kid is neurologically is not 100% (whatever that implies), they won’t learn at the same level.
Not sure I understand the second part. Feels like we are on the same page about that.
The education a child receives depends on many often unfair conditions. Many children are not seen and perceived. If one puts the education now completely (parents should always have a considerable part in the education of their children) into the hands of the parents, then everything depends on these parents and their possibilities and interest. I think we are rather privileged here, so it may seem impossible that parents can not ensure the optimal education
If I understand what you’re saying - that not all parents are qualified to educate - then I 100% agree. Even if they didn’t force a curriculum, a curious kid would meet a dead end by approaching them.
I have taught in many communities where the parents were non existent or would abuse their children. For some, I was the first male they had met who didn’t hurt them. There are many problems with our education systems, but for these children my classroom was their only hope and the only safe place they knew.
