answer:I’m tutoring a student from Pakistan who has high pressure from home to succeed. “You got to go to USA while we starve. You had better be exceptional!” In my area of US, helicopter parents are not the norm, but they are the squeaky wheels. It doesn’t do their children any favors. The teacher resents the interference. The other kids know, and make kissy face noises at the child, further alienating him/her from peers. This goes into a cycle of bullying/recrimination/retaliation. Yes. We need to pay attention to bullying and stop that. But, hovering over every tiny detail and demanding a teacher conference for every single incident that doesn’t meet the parent’s expectations ? It may stop the overt bullying, but that child will not be liked or respected among his/her peer group.
