At least until recently, Japanese teachers were deeply involved in their student's lives and parents would quake if the teacher didn't approve of some family life situation. Being called to a parent-teacher conference was terrifying for the parents.
Unfortunately (in most cases), the teachers were hamstrung because of educational reforms a few years ago and in many cases, the parents have NOT stepped up to the plate. So much so that authorities are reconsidering many of these reforms.
Most anime and mangaka though, grew up in the older school ways and that's why you see it still played out in those forms of entertainment. Almost all "daily life" anime/manga like this is nostalgic in some sense.
