[quote=Anonymous]When I was a junior at a small private high school circa early 90’s, the students and parents were told that the college application process is our first step towards independence and adulthood, and that it wasn’t the parents’ responsibility to book college tours, keep track of deadlines, read essays, etc. Obviously these are different times and while I didn’t see or proofread my kid’s applications, I did my share of nagging/reminding about deadlines and went onto college websites to see when tours are available. Many of us are struggling with this cultural shift, and it’s hard to strike that balance between nurturing/supporting and helicoptering. [/quote]
