raising children was historically a communal responsibility and you are doing what was historically done by the extended community anyway

US perspective here. The problems I see:

In many cases, the parents don't have time to give their child the attention that they need and the "extended community" has shrunk to maybe some extended family like grandparents or aunts/uncles. This is particularly bad for those in poverty and working multiple jobs.
Existential dread and financial uncertainty for the parents, the child, and the teachers.
Reduced educational funding - downward pressure on teacher compensation, teachers paying for classroom supplies the school and parents can't provide.
Increasingly corporate structure in school districts - a focus on efficiency, metrics, test performance, etc. instead of the much harder to measure intellectual and social growth of the students. See NCLB.
Massive, rapid-paced social and technological change.
