Personally, I find it amusing when parents don't what their kids attending public schools, but want their students to have all the benefits of being a public school student. On a professional level, I think this speaks to the quality of the FRC program across the country.
I understand that it's a liability issue in many instances. Of course, that may depend on where a team meets - in the school, at a sponsor, how much students use tools, etc...

However, I still don't think this should discourage a team for wanting to include a student in some way. As a guest? By "partnering" with the private school in some way?
