Sending a child to an insipid, lame, boring catechism class that doesn't actually teach them the Faith, does an excellent job of teaching them that the Faith is insipid, lame, boring, and doesn't have any actual substance to it. To even supplement bad catechesis at church with good catechesis at home, the parents would have to be sitting in on the classes to figure out what to supplement. For each child. Which could mean more different classes than there are parents.
Also, time is one of those finite resources that don't get replenished. Children's time should not be wasted by making them sit around being told things they already know for a couple hours a week. Few adults would put up with that.
