Parents have their place in their kids education, but they also have places they don't belong. If you want to break down cultural barriers and teach kids things that their culture doesn't like then the presence of parents are detrimental.
If you were trying to teach evolution in Alabama, do you really want parents in your classroom? Probably not, they'd get upset, muddy the waters, encourage dissent, etc. etc.
The separation from parents is a key feature of schools that allows for breaking down some cultural barriers and allows real discussion. It also encourages kids to be independent and take their education into their own hands before they're thrown to the wolves in college with balancing work and learning.
