The Ultimate Helicopter Mom

<p>These two videos are very funny, although the accent is a bit hard to understand in parts. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Those clips are hilarious. Thanks for sharing. </p>

<p>Now, I have to get back to the work I was doing counseling students and their parents in getting into college, LOL.</p>

<p>Hysterical. BUMP.</p>

<p>This is so funny. She has her own show in England. Nigerian parents are a lot like some Asian parents, to them education is the only means of social upward mobilty for those who are poor.</p>

<p>That’s really funny. It makes me wonder though what it must be like to be a teacher, and to encounter parents who do that - especially if there are several of them in any single year.</p>

<p>Reminds me of somebody at work (she’s not even in my Dept. and she pushes everyone around!)</p>

<p>Reminds me of this little boy who was in elementary school with my kids. They had some kind of reading program where the parents were to record the number of minutes read each day by their child. At the end of the year the student with the most minutes was recognized with an award. This boy (whose mother was very like that one in the film clip) had entered so many minutes that he “won” by a mile. When the teachers did the math, after subtracting hours in school, the boy would have gotten about 60 min of sleep a night. Of course, no one wanted to stand up to the mother (like I said–crazy) and the boy got the award. And the boy also suffered ridicule by the other kids, who could also figure out that it just wasn’t possible.</p>

<p>That one did not live up to his mother’s expectations, nor the second child, she is currently grooming #3.</p>
