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.

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