This sounds like an overwhelming consensus of people who made it through their school days out-of-contact with Mom.

LOL! Well, in trouble or injured in some manner. Other than that, I think I made it okay. Of course that was a long time ago. Loooongggg!

Back in the 50s and 60s there were no "helicopter parents" that I knew of. Now it's pretty common I believe.
It's not totally illogical though. Because the middle class economy has been battered so thoroughly, there are a fair number of parents who feel compelled to get their kids into top line colleges thinking this will perhaps give them a shot at becoming Masters of the Universe. Or perhaps sports superstars.
