I agree very much with this. I was constantly finding things after I moved out that I wished my parents had taught me to do myself. But instead, my Mom did everything and my Dad just sort of stayed uninvolved. I'd even ask them, and nothing really changed.
So yes, parents should be more teachers than just those nagging adults who think you act like you think you know everything.
