How involved is too involved? When it comes to school parents have two choices. They can either choice to be completely involved or just not care at all. It usually just depends on the parents. For example, on Wife swap, these two parents were very protective over their child and even went to school with him everyday to check his desk and ask how he was doing. In my opinion that is WAY too much. On the other hand their are many examples of parents who exhibit no care at all towards towards their child's academic future. Sometimes these parents even let their kids just not go to school. Now that is not enough involvement for a child to succeed in.
When it really comes down to it, An "in between" approach is the best. Be involved enough to where you know what's going on and how you could help them do better. At the same time, give them their amount of independence. If you give them some freedom but still have rules when it comes to education, then that child will have a bright future without having to have a hand to hold.
