School kicks helicopter parents out of the cafeteria

If you've raised kids, you know that the day you drop them off at school is among the most heartbreaking days for a parent. They don't need you anymore, at least during school hours. For most parents, they soon realize it's among the most joyous moments; they've got part of their lives back. At least during school hours. Of course, you actually have to have a life for that to be of any value and too many people in Darien, Conn., don't, apparently.
