[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s very hard to generalize about this sort of thing. I would also say that so many high school students are far more impressive and driven individuals than the ones I knew back in the 90’s, even those who back in the day got into top 20 colleges. As the population grows, so does the competition. That said, there is also a contingent of parents who definitely helicopter, always has been, but I agree the internet makes it far more pervasive. My 9th grader would be beyond livid with me if I got involved to the point of contacting a teacher to complain about a grade they gave him. If I did that when he is college I seriously think he would stop talking to me, at least for a while. That sort of behavior is beyond helicopter parenting. You have to let them make mistakes and separate so they can learn from life.[/quote]
