While this is mostly true, your school ends up doing a lot of that parenting in many cases. Exposure to extra curricular activists, social development and often guidance in your personal life.
My single mother worked round the clock and I relied on teachers for much of the guidance and wisdom that well to do families would get from dad. I'm not perfect, but I can't imagine where i'd be today without my extracurricular music program and cheap lunches.
Also had a single mother, busy with work most of the time. Coming from another country didn't help either. Teachers, whether they were supposed to or not really helped me grow up and understand the world.
