I just got off the phone with a parent of one of my students (college student, mind you). She's upset because her son cannot get a job because he doesn't yet have his degree. And he doesn't yet have his degree because I won't change his grade.
Of course, her little angel won't approach me about this because he knows I won't change his grade (because he didn't do the work). But, he's convinved Mommy that I'm a big fat meanie who enjoys preventing college students from graduating.
Thank God for FERPA. And thank goodness my department chair is not phased by heli-parents.
While this clearly isn't a definition of a heliparent, I'd say she's a pretty good example of one.
