While I technically don't think a company owes this to their employees they really should -- otherwise they are going to lose that employee. It's a mutual relationship, investing in said relationship benefits both parties. Not providing that sort of learning/training sends a clear message to me that they don't care about me. If they don't care about me that means I'm out the door at the first sign of trouble. If I know that now you can guarantee I'll always have one eye on the job boards in case I see something better. And you can see this in the crazy turnover rates at tech companies. It's a bummer.
Also, tweak the language and tell me this doesn't sound totally insane.
Your life is your responsibility. It is not your parent's responsibility to make sure you grow up. It is not your parent's responsibility to raise you, or send you to school, or buy you books ... It is also not your parent's responsibility to give you the time you need to mature.
