I don't think so... Like I said, I work at a school and we rarely have parents volunteering, even for a day. Out of two 7th grade classes, we were hard pressed to get the required number of parents for a field trip to see a play for free (a free lunch was included). In my special ed class only 2 out of about a dozen sets of parents volunteer and only one regularly. No, the days of parents in the schoolroom have passed.

What I think is harsh, is that most parents are willing to let others to have constant and complete control over their kids without even checking up on how things are going, much less helping in class. I don't know if they just don't give a damn or what!

Have you ever been to your kid's class when it was not an "Open House night" or a required parent-teacher meeting???
