The bottom line is that life is not an equal playing field. Yes, my daughters turned into good writers perhaps in part because I was able to give them extra attention in that area than others may get. But they are lousy tennis players because I don’t care for tennis and do not have access to good courts. They are also not as good at math and know that they cannot turn to me for that support.

And the child who needs to work after school, may not have the time to finesse their essays or study as hard for test as the child without after school responsibilities.

So I don’t really think getting reasonable parental support is a matter of ethics, but rather circumstance.
