Helicopter Parents

Helicopter parents They are at school daily Begging to stay longer Criticizing other people’s children and the teacher Wanting to bring their lunch And take naps with their kindergarteners Helicopter parents Send long rambling emails to the fourth grade teacher Why did you say this?

Helicopter parents A teacher’s nightmares Following their child to college now Enrolling in the same classes Demanding to see their child’s grade card The college professors laugh them out of the lecture hall
