More schools shoot down 'helicopter parenting'

[blues7]

Yes

More and more privileged

Lesson 1/2 way, interrupted by school intercom

Teacher need to stop lesson and answer the call

Usually is general office staff inform teAcher to inform student the tehri parents deliver something e.g. Art bag or lunch money or some worksheets

Students will then need to pick up item from the general office - in case they forget, teacher also scare so will quickly ask them to go and collect immediately - if not, teacher may kena complain why never remind student to collect item when parents took trouble to deliver

I don't quite agree on what constitute helicopter parenting.

If the child has the idea that the parent is able to help out to pass him a book, to avoid punishment, why not? Even as an adult, you forgot to bring a piece of important file and you're meeting an ultra niao fella, you also will beg someone from home to pass it to you. If the teacher is lenient and known to be kind, the child also won't go through the trouble and have mini panic attacks.

I do draw a line in terms of behavioral issues though. Some parents failed to instill respect and courtesy for others. If caught red-handed, then leave the child to face the music on their own. But if its something that the child has already forseen before hand and aims to correct the wrong, why not. Imo, the child is doing everything within its powers to "make things right".

the main agenda of this thread is to bash the younger gen aka strawberries in these old farks eyes, never ending ego stroking journey

Nowadays can only reprimand the students 'without hurting their feelings', can't do much punishment also. One small step wrong and the teacher is gone

If parents always bring the things for their children, aren't we breeding more strawberry generations?

then you want your kid to loose out in learning when they don't have the textbook or worksheet??

kinda dumb. the kid doesn't learn much about responsibilities by punishing them this way.

i mean if you working adult and left important documents at home/office, you wouldn't want someone to help you bring it over for you?
