Helicopter parents

By sunny_funny - This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff - Cyprus - Nicosia

This is why my school had the rule that stated, "if you want to talk to them, buy them a cell phone," when it came to multi-day field trips.

At least you won't be bored, or feel unwanted -- two of the biggest plagues in the modern world.

That's 12 students per adult. Lame for the adults but not totally absurd.

Sometimes I'm glad my parents didn't really care. I think they were just glad to get rid of me for a few days.
