I think that's a bit over simplistic. My sister's and I take a very active role and are very interested in my nieces' educations, and yet we still can't keep them interested in math for very long.

Some teachers do a decent job of making classes interesting. I did have some wonderful teachers in elementary school who tried very hard to interest all of us. And then I had some who would just stand at the front of the room and dryly lecture us. I think it needs to be emphasized to all teachers.
Not around so much now that school's started
"Live a good life.
If there are gods and they are just,
then they will not care how devout you have been,
but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life
that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
Marcus Aurelius
