re: Are more parents going to schools during lunch to spend time w/ their kids?

I have 4 children that range from pre-k to 6th grade. So, that's 3 different campuses. The kids in school ride the bus, pre-k gets a pick up/drop off from the HS girl we have. Her older sister started for us 3 years ago but is now a freshman at LSU. After my wife passed & throughout final months we kept her on to achieve as much "normalcy" as possible.

That said, my OP was more of curiosity as to when this got to be a regular deal. I can understand a time or 2, especially the school sponsored events, but IMO you gotta cut the cord.

To answer a previous couple of response questions:
-I was asked to leave for making others uncomfortable. However the school board apology was made because I didn't single anyone out & witnesses spoke on my behalf proving that I never raised my voice or became confrontational.
-It was an evening PTA meeting. They're monthly. My wife went to most of them, but never to a random breakfast or lunch date with any of the kids (I asked my kids, inconspicuously).
-While I am a stay at home dad now, I have enough to do around the house-chores & repairs/updates, as well as get out to live my life.
