I get what you're saying. In my case, I had full control because my parents were aloof. I easily got them to go along with whatever I wanted and sign any necessary forms because they didn't care. I'm not sure how I would feel with the opposite problem of helicopter parents. I think I would have benefited from some parental involvement and support, but as I am now an adult, the thought of worrying about a child and their school after working all day is exhausting to me and I can see how my parents made the choice they did. A lot of people put huge efforts into their kids schools and end up with poor outcomes.
