Either society isn't giving a prospective good parent the resources to achieve success. Any or many reasons exist; rent is too high, jobs got replaced by AI craze, only qualified for jobs that aren't valued at a living wage. If the parents do have the resources but still fail, society is at fault as the kids haven't been rehomed to other environments.

We can't step in and fix everything. Systems don't scale like that. There has to be individual responsibility.

Some parents simply do not care.

> haven't been rehomed to other environments

There are already enough kids without parents. You'd be making the problem worse.

> jobs got replaced by AI craze

Hasn't even come close to happening yet.

Okay, a failing student is the fault of the parents. Now what?

Do you think parents want their children to fail? Failing children are generally associated with low socioeconomic status.

So, now, you have to fix low socioeconomic status. Now what?

etc.

You are correct that schools and teachers can only do so much. However, schools and teachers must also operate in the reality of what actually exists rather than what they would like.
