This is purely speculative from both of our viewpoints, but I would agree here.

The fact is that the government can't force parents to teach their children but they can force their teachers.

"Force" teachers to do what? Make kids learn or even care about learning? The purpose of a teacher is to
facilitate the learning process. This means a child has got to be actively involved in it on their own accord already. The means by which they get this attitude (strict parenting, active involvement through learning activities by parents, etc.) aside, it has got to be present in some form in order for a teacher-student situation to be effective. The teacher can not enforce a set of values and discipline into a class of 25 and teach them the material all in the same juggling act.
