Parents' Overprotection in Universities: A Growing Concern in Spain
Madrid, Spain – A recent video by content creator George FN has sparked discussion regarding parental overprotection in Spanish universities. In the video, George FN, identified as a doctor and social critic, expresses his dismay at parents contacting university departments to intervene on behalf of their adult children, particularly concerning failed courses. George FN emphasizes that university students, typically aged 20-22, should be capable of solving their own problems and taking responsibility for their academic outcomes. He states, "Professors treat students with the utmost objectivity possible. If a student fails a subject, they failed it themselves; the professor did not fail them." He further suggests that poor academic performance often stems from students not attending classes, studying, or paying sufficient attention, or being distracted by their mobile phones. While acknowledging rare exceptions for students with legitimate needs, he asserts that students themselves should communicate with professors directly. George FN warns that parental overprotection fosters "totally dysfunctional future adults" who become dependent on others and struggle to function independently in society. The video highlights a perceived trend of parental interference in higher education, raising questions about student autonomy and preparedness for adulthood.
