The situation when I went to high school was that no one was qualified to teacher upper school computer science, so we simply didn't have the option of studying it. Students didn't have the chance to study computers again until university. I would have much preferred the opportunity to study programming, even if the teacher was unqualified in that area.

With this kind of situation, even if parents attempted to "do something about it", the department can't just pull a computing teacher out of no where. There simply aren't enough teachers in the pool to fill the number of positions. It's all too easy to be mad at the teachers, but what is really failing you is the system, and the only way to fix that is change at the upper levels, not by going after individual teachers. You want more qualified teachers? increase the pay an work conditions and you'll attract many more people to the field

(NOTE: I'm drawing a distinction between an incompetent teacher: one who simply isn't any good at teaching, and an unqualified teacher: Someone who knows how to teach, has two degrees, but may be teaching out of their field of expertise)
