[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just here to say I wish schools only looked at 11th and 12th for gpa. It’s insane to expect consistent perfection, ambition, and long-term planning from kids from 14/15 -17/18 without intense parental control. Wonder why helicopter parents became a thing? I don’t. Colleges reward premature frontal lobe development and controlling parenting ([b]even parents doing some of the kids work[/b])[/quote]

Do parents really do this? Lol! I don't think my kid would want me attempting his precalc or physics especially since I never took those classes. [/quote]

Yes.  absolutely.  I am one of them as are many of my friends.  We don't do the work independently (as in our kid is not in the next room while we're cranking out physics problems) but we do sit at the table/desk and assist as needed.  Many nights. 
High school pre-calc and physics, etc are pretty easy for many parents who are doctors or STEM workers and there are a lot of us around this area.  [/quote]
