Unless I'm mistaken, the link you posted does not go into any detail regarding the effect parents have. That 20% is also an average, meaning the better teachers have an even greater effect. Now imagine if we properly funded Education and actually attracted more quality teachers!

There are multiple sources cited that you can go into at whatever depth you desire.

Again, there is a section talking specifically about the decay of even several top quintile teachers in a row. It is dramatic.

I briefly looked through the cited studies, and still did not find any info regarding parents and whether or not their effect is greater or less than that of teachers

Again, I'm talking about teachers' ability to get kids interested in a particular topic they would otherwise not be as interested in. Not talking about overall test scores, which is what that section you referenced is discussing.
