Teacher here - personally, I feel this is an outmoded way of thinking. It might have been true in the past, but when the majority of households are dual-income today, I don't think it's wrong for schools to evolve and take on more of a character-building role.
On the other hand, this definitely leads to increased workload, without a corresponding increase in manpower. The solution (for now) seems to have been increasing salaries; but it seems clear that won't work as a long-term solution. Hope they're working on improving conditions over in the ministry… (beyond implementing chat bots)
