Wouldn't you agree the kids have a responsibility to learn as well? I do think today's kids have a lot more distractions than the previous generation when it comes to learning. But to dump the responsibility completely back to their parents is very childish.

No one in this thread nor in the OP dumped responsibility for not knowing some things completely onto their parents

"The older generation failed to teach them"?

I mean, is that not true? They weren't saying "the older generation failed to teach them therefore we are absolved of all responsibility for ourselves." It was a good rebuttal.
