If you are failing a class at school, a helicopter parent will do your homework for you to make you "appear" successful. They protect their kids from failure, make their bed for them, make them feel helpless - like they can't do anything on their own. These kids never get a chance to learn anything on their own, and develop resilience or self-confidence. They're helpless as adults, incapable of doing anything on their own because they've been pampered their whole lives.
Good points RT I recall parents at a private university I use to work at. It was later discovered that the parents were hiring someone to do complete their sons course work and even offered the university donations prior to him taking his exams.
