we live in the age of litigation, so everyone is out ot make sure that their ass if fully covered. i'm sure most schools would be more thant happy to have a volunteer come in and work with kids. the school will never allow them to juggle anything dangerous though. too much liability for the district, or at least there is the APPEARANCE of liability. if a kid gets hurt, is it the district's fault? I don't know and most people (unless they are lawyers) don't know, but it sure looks bad so the gut reaction-response of anyone affiliated with the school is going to be "no" to anything dangerous/cool. however, once you get enough kids interested, you may be able to get something going independent of the school. you would definitely need to get parental consent though before any axes, torches, hand-grenades, etc. got juggled.
