Tragedy of the commons - enough parents don't see their kids as anything but perfect to dissuade teachers from wanting to talk to the parents about issues their little darlings have.
That said,
Common core math makes it impossible for parents who did not learn common core style calculation
Is false. I didn't learn common core as a child, but I was able to pick it up as an adult. There's a lot of good resources online.
Tip: It's how most of 'us' do mental math, spelled out and codified. Rough estimates refined in further steps.

I'm a nuclear engineer by education and stuggled with doing computations using common core methods. I can only imagine how most people who didn't pick a profession that involved advanced math fare when faced with doing long division common core style.
