In times of economic woe money may be scarce but time tends to be cheaper.

Mayhap this is a good time for getting back into the habit of parent involvement with schooling?

I somehow doubt any school with a hacker club run by a couple of science&engineering orientated dads would have these kinds of problems.

Wait for the school system to catch a wake-up and we'll be waiting forever.

Isn't going to happen. Schools will object because of insurance/liability concerns. Teacher's unions will complain Dads won't be allowed unless they have a police background check.

Remember we must protect the dear little children.

The dads are probably all child molesters anyway. What possible reason could a grown man have to spend time with a child other than to sexually abuse them?

In fact, we should probably take their own children away from them.

/'tis a sad world we live in :(.

You seem to have missed the sarcasm.

Insurance concerns -> If the existing policies don't already cover it they can easily be extended to cover parental involvement.

Teacher unions -> They are welcome to complain but fortunately they don't set school policy.

Complaining about how impossible the situation is may make you feel better but fixing it will make you feel good.
