I would like to think the dads who are fly fishers ARE more involved with their families. I pray that is true. I also know from talking to friends who are teachers they have a large number of parents who never attend a parent/teachers conference at any time. They try and make arrangements to fit the parents schedules, no help. Absolutely no involvment. These are NOT poor families from bad neighborhoods. There isn't a 'blanket' statement to fit all Paul - except to say in the 'old days' it just didn't happen. Times have changes, schools have changes, society has changed...and for the better? Not in my opinion.
