Go For The Jugular ...

As a middle school basketball coach, try not starting the grandchild (who wants to start) of a town councilman. Even with the backing of the athletic director, you still can't fight city hall.

This "helicopter parent" (they hover over their children) thing is going too far. My son is a sociology professor at a top rated college and he tells me that he gets calls, and emails, all the time from parents complaining about their "children's" unfair grading, in a few cases, from the parents of graduate students.
