On Campus, Failure Is on the Syllabus

I really wonder how any student can go through life without single setback, ever, and then I read threads like: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/2000436-defending-helicopter-parenting-p1.html and remember that there are parents who will not let their students fail.

It’s sad, really. An 18 year old should be able to cope with getting a “B”

(Now coming out to parents is a whole different thing.)
