[quote=Anonymous]I cannot imagine why a parent would not want to be involved in what is one of the most important decisions their child will make and one of the last ones you will likely get to be involved with. Would you let them buy a car with your money without your involvement? Or a house? But it is also a fun process, researching schools, talking about them and your kid's interests, visiting schools, it is a great experience and something to experience together. Parents can clearly go too far but I think it would be just as bad to drop out of the process or just occasionally pat them on the head for getting an app in. I think if you let them do all the work you are also likely to find that they will mimic their friends, many of whom had their parents' involved, so you would be deferring to the parents of others.
