[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former high school teacher, I know of a lot of A students in high school who were hand-held by parents and ended up doing quite poorly in college.   [/quote]

This doesn’t surprise me at all. [/quote]

See, I find this odd AF.  To "know" this, [b]the teacher needs to (1) figure out which kids in high school are "hand held" by their parents [/b]and (2) follow up on those kids to learn their college GPAs.

I don't know any teacher who's ever done that.  Certainly none of my kids' teachers have any idea how any of them did in college.

This is just another example of someone talking out her a$$ because it's the way she wants the world to be.

Trust me, we know. All teachers can tell exactly which parents are helicopter parents.

Also, the fact that none of your kids' teachers kept up with them is not something I'd brag about. It means they were forgettable and didn't make an impression on any of their teachers. I have followed the academic careers and subsequent careers of many former students. I have connected former students with friends and colleagues in their interested fields for internships.

I allow former students to follow me on social media after graduation. This is how we see what's up and keep up with them.

I never said my kids' teachers never kept up with them after graduation.  They did.  They didn't ask to see their college transcripts though.  How many of your former students who follow you on social media post their GPAs on your facebook page?

You're full of shit.  You may know of former students who did very well in college, and you may also know of kids who dropped out of college for whatever reason.  That's all you know.  It's impossible to know the rest without come serious stalking on your part going on -- in which case, yea, I sure would hope that my kids were "forgettable" to a "former" teacher like you, because that's creepy stuff.
