When I was a kid, my parents went to church with my teachers...
Multi generational teachers really made a difference. My teachers taught my parents and were part of the local community. They knew my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. They were fully invested.
One of my teachers attends our family reunions because after the death of his wife and daughter he has no one so we brought him in. These days he tutors my niece in math.
