That kind of depends how good a teacher the parent is. Somewhat devalues what can be quite a difficult skill. Teachers may be people with natural aptitude for teaching, but they still had to learn how to do it effectively. Not all parents can teach. Not all parents will teach. Nations do not reach 100 % (or nearto) literacy rates by leaving it to parental efforts. Not all children will be taught if governments don't force the issue in some way.
