Seems like a theme. . .

Many parents unwilling to cut kids loose.

Not nearly the quality of the previous mentioned Twixter article, though.

I've been on that campus... what amused me most about it was how the bat-house, Lake Alice (famous for it's large and numerous gaters) and the pre-school/daycare are all within sight of each other (but not main campus) and it's the pre-school that has the chain-link fences, heh!

What I also thought was curious about the Twixter piece was how these 'helicopter parents' are what really created this generation of kids afraid to pick a sandwich. I think the boomers secretly love it, because the longer their kids are 'young,' the longer they think they stay young. It's sad.
