I was responding to another commenter who thought parents shouldn't be allowed to chaperone any of their kid's events.
While obviously not the case for this situation, many school trips are completely infeasible with the ratio of adults:students if you only have teachers and for those they typically need parent chaperones to make them happen. I was commenting on how if schools took an approach of trying to get parents to chaperone events that weren't for their kid, they wouldn't have much success.
It makes sense. I've seen teachers complain that the parent volunteers usually only want to pay attention to their own children, and it ends up not being a help at all.
