I assumed the same thing until my buddy at ClarkU told me it was a valid observation. BTW, he also says a new problem on campus are "Helicopter Parents" - so called because they hover over their kids. Seems Clark has established a special "Parents Orientation" partly to get the parents away from their kids during regular freshman orientation. I don't know about you, but my parents never even considered attending my freshman orientation. He also knows a professor who hates giving out bad grades - not because the kids will be upset - but because every bad grade prompts an angry phone call from the parents.

Parents calling the prof to complain about bad grades? WTF?

Seems crazy but these observations are coming from the folks in the trenches - not talking head pundits.
