Teachers have minor or no problem with the curriculum these days the state and feds dictate it. Most people did not go to school or went to one that is much different at the time of the founding of this country.
SO maybe I don't get your point, enlighten me.

That's one problem right there. Teachers should have a problem with the curricula these days, because much of it isn't designed to teach basic knowledge and understanding, and the results, by and large, prove that point to be true.

Most people did not go to school or went to one that is much different at the time of the founding of this country.

I thought your original point was that educational failures were not the fault of teachers, but rather some problems or other at home. Since many children were taught at home during the 17th and 18th centuries, and most homeschooled children today don't have these educational failures that we see in public schools today, what's your point?
