...Poniewozik's article was a quick yet deeply gratifying read. In one page he managed to sum up the rationale and angst we "helicopter" parents have about our parenting style. On the one hand, we feel it is right to sacrifice deeply for our children, and on the other we have a nagging suspicion that there is a good reason no previous generation raised children this way. It doesn't take a sage, however, to know that children aren't designed to raise themselves. I pray that CBS has taken adequate precautions to protect the children involved.

The College gave away a total of about $99.7 million in financial aid awards last year, leaving a difference of about $102.3 million, a staggering sum to be sure, but a mere 0.3 percent of Harvard’s 34.9 billion endowment.
