While parental involvement is often seen as a cornerstone in high school students' success, too much involvement can be problematic. Often teachers feel caught between supporting students' personal growth and parental expectations of students' academic achievement. Certain practices can be developed and implemented at a classroom and school level that can help parents and students. Developing student skills in areas of personal autonomy and self-control is helpful. Creating parent-teacher and student-teacher partnerships can support student growth and may mitigate the negative effects of helicopter parenting.
