In Defense of Helicopter Parents - Motherlode Blog - NYTimes.com - 0 views

parenting.blogs.nytimes.com/...-defense-of-helicopter-parents

shared by anonymous on 16 Sep 09 - Cached

Beyond such undeniable excesses, a quiet reappraisal of helicopter parents is underway. Some researchers have begun to argue that late adolescence and young adulthood are such minefields today - emotional, social, sexual, logistical, psychological - that there are valid reasons for parents to remain deeply involved in their children’s lives even after the kids are, technically speaking, adults. Moreover, they say, with the economy in a deep swoon, helicopter parents may have a vital role to play as career counselors or even as providers of financial aid to their offspring.

  Just wondering what people think of this? I'm not a parent yet, so I only see things from a teacher's perspective...

  I think, as the article says, that the term has been attached to the extreme parent whose well-meaning attempts to help or guide a child has become interference ith the child's more basic need to learn from experience. Yes, teach them to look both ways and stay away from drugs, etc, but don't rush to school to prevent a punishment for something that they truly should be punished for. I had my share of Helicopter parents, and they're no fun to deal with.

Doesn't sound like the feds plan to do anything too soon to advance digital learning in the near future. SAD! What about having grants BEFORE kids drop out of school. Be proactive instead of reactive!

Informative site on fast food and nutritional information. I use this for kids to learn how to chart nutritional facts in Excel or google docs. They need to pick their typical meal and analyze the nutritional contents, etc.

I love this site! I could see kids getting into this as grammar practice instead of taking notes and doing a worksheet. Thanks, Lisa!

One of our goals is to encourage and provide training so that teachers see technology as an enhancement and not a replacement for their current technique.

If you're not familiar with Second life, check out this intro from CBS news from a few years ago. Yes, it's cool, but after you get past the wow factor, do you think it offers anything for teachers?

Wow! It looks like it may be fun to create a possible fantasy world. I do worry about kids and I guess some adults getting to wrapped up in it to be able to separate it from the "real" world! Interesting report.
