Well, as an educator, I find this is just the next step in the process. We have parents demanding less homework, or more; We have parents hovering and coddling nearly all the miscreants. Today's parents are still living in extended adolescence, so they are certain their kids are not ready to go it alone.

Well, as an educator, I find this is just the next step in the process. We have parents demanding less homework, or more; We have parents hovering and coddling nearly all the miscreants.

And we have far too many young adults graduating from high school (and often college) with no "real-life" skills whatsoever. They are faced with the harsh reality that they haven't the slightest idea how to write a resume or interview for a job and they lean on their parents for help.

This trend doesn't surprise me in the least. For every parent that shows up to their kid's interview, I'll bet there are 10 that filled out his/her job application.
