[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"We" are not applying anywhere. The children are applying. And once the child gets in, the correct phrase is "my child goes to X school," not "we go to X school." If your husband worked at IBM would you say "we work at IBM"? You are not your husband, and you are not your child.[/quote]

You're right. The phrase "we are at [school]" is a giveaway for helicopter parenting.

Nonsense x 1000. The fact that poster said "we" are applying, is perfectly valid. The parents are part of the application process, hell they are often interviewed separately. If that doesn't count for "we" then I don't know what does.
