News Round-Up Feb. 10: Homeschoolers on School Teams, STFU Parents Turns 3 and Helicopter Parenting News

What we’re reading today:

1. Should home-schooled kids be able to play on school teams? On the one hand, it’d be nice for them to socialize with their peers and on the other, to quote Damian from Mean Girls, “She doesn’t even go here!” And you know, there are always house league sports teams and activities.

2. The Washington Post‘s parenting blogger sits down with the founder of STFU Parents, a blog that makes fun of parents who over-share on social media. How much sharing is too much sharing? Have you ever mommy-jacked someone else’s status? Does something like STFU Parents provide the new guide to what’s appropriate to share and what’s not? Or is it just just unnecessary?

3. We suppose this was to be expected, but helicopter parents, who call teachers too much and never let their kids out of their eyesight, are now getting involved with their kids’ jobs.
