I am not sure how does this answer my question. "Paying properly" a teacher will make one's parents millionaire professors or as interested and capable in their children education how?

Or do you simply deny that parents educate their children? Do you believe that as long as they have the same teachers at school, who are 'paid properly', say, a farmer's son and a son of a musician will have the same knowledge and skills in animal husbandry and musical theory?

My parents only told me to do homework. I don't think only millionaire professors can do this.

Are you saying that your parents are millionaire college professors and they have not told you anything other than to do your homework? That sucks, I imagine most parents are more involved with their children. My parents are just research scientist but I had no problem learning from them, they answered all kinds of questions for me.

Father is a plumber, mother is an accounter. I had a problem with understanding fractions, mom helped me. There was no more help, because I understood everything else myself and they don't know more advanced topics, because they had school program long ago. My brother is decently educated and knows school program, but can't help his kids - they just don't understand (their (modern) school has zero discipline).

I am sorry, I don't understand your point then. How is your case relevant to children of college professors or even mere PhDs? You apparently didn't have the same educational opportunities as them by your own account.

I have better education than children of millionaire professors. My point is that you don't need something extreme to know school math.

>>My point is that you don't need something extreme to know school math.

That is obvious, the discussion is about the education opportunities though, not mastering school math, which is, honestly, a joke.
