You're right in what you say. Parents are a fundamental part of the education of children who will be the professionals of the future. Teachers have a great responsibility in educating them, and children's concept of school is no longer the same as before.
Yes! Teachers can make a big difference, but only if the child/parent cares. If they don't, there's not much a teacher can do. Maybe an extrordinarily heroic teacher teacher can make a difference even in that circumstance, but for sure most teachers can't.

Honestly, it is an interconnected work of Father, son and teacher and if none of them are connected it will not work.

correct
Maybe it is unfair to blame the parents entirely. It is very difficult to earn a living here. Many households both parents have to work at the same time. And in many immigrant families, the parents are not educated and can't speak English well, so they can't help their children with schoolwork.
That's part of it too. But I don't know how much it contributes to the overall decline in outcomes.

Yes, in Latin America it also happens sometimes, the context that you highlight greatly affects the education of any child.
