Parents shouldn't be allowed to coach their sons or daughters at the high school level
I think parents should be able to coach. I don't see the issue it is a high school sport not the majors/pros. My dad is a coach and coach my brother never once did parents question him of thought it was a conflict of interest. If your kid is good enough to play he/she will play. It hurts some parents feeling but sometimes your kids are not as good as others.
No I do not believe it is the best idea for the parent or the student
Conflict of interest
No
Having parents coach at the high school level is a terrible practice.
Yes, I think that should be allowed

Depends on the sport. Overall no. It creates a conflict of interest and the coach obviously has a favorite player. In this situation the other players are not often treated fairly.
