Teachers shared frustrating experiences with helicopter parents, illustrating the extent of their interference. One story highlighted a mother who constantly criticized classroom temperatures, demanding frequent checks, while another recalled a parent’s extreme beliefs about the Harry Potter series leading to a conflict over classroom decor. These incidents demonstrate how helicopter parenting can disrupt educational environments and challenge teachers' authority.
