oming this year, Breaking Bad actor RJ Mitte will appear along with musicians, artists and lecturers for the University of North Texas’ Fine Arts Series on Oct. 29.

Mitte, who played Walter White’s son, has cerebral palsy, the same disorder the character had in the show.

He’s given his lecture about his childhood experiences with bullying, his role on the show, and diversity in entertainment, at universities nationwide.

W

e found someone else who needs to come sit down next to us. Some cheeky monkey (he signs his name Johnathon Peace) started a Change.org petition to leaven the uber-seriousness of the Denton County Confederate Veterans Memorial by replacing it with a statue of Kanye West. The whole wink-wink-nudge-nudge petition (which has eight whole supporters) puts it like this: “Kanye West has never released a non-platinum album, putting him on the same level as such varied artists as the Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Metallica; the Confederacy has never released even one hit single.”

Way to lighten the mood, sir. Way to lighten the mood.

ding partner — JB Paschal — slinging drinks at East Side again.

■ Maybe it’s time for local theater company Fight Boy Theatre to apply its ample wit to the 600-page facilities study done for the city of Denton by a consultant a few years ago? The dang thing cost $400,000 and Mayor Chris Watts — who inherited the beefy binder of data from a previous council — has only read some of it. Maybe if Fight Boy turned it into a series of comedic sketches (maybe a spoof of Breaking Bad?) someone would feel like reading it.

■ All right, readers. Let’s speculate wildly about what council member Keely Briggs puts in her unicorn mug. And skip any reference to “the Kool-Aid,” because that’s cliche and you’re all smarter than that.

■ Local public access host Theresa Westbrook was nearly duped by the uncomfortable-but-funny stunt by YouTube sensation Andy Bowser. But the local Christian talk show hostess (Time With Theresa) wasn’t alone.

When Bowser spliced himself into a real Detroit news story about the Satanic church bringing a statue of the terrible goat-headed god Baphomet to town, even serious students of pop culture thought he might be for real. He poses as a raven-haired, bearded eccentric who gushes nervously about not stealing his neighbor’s Victoria’s Secret catalog and blurting out, “I dunno. Satan’s pretty cool.”

Shiver with anticipation Company to hold auditions for ‘Rocky Horror’

D

enton Community Theatre wants all the freaks and geeks to show up for Rocky Horror Picture Show auditions.

Auditions are 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 13-14 at the Campus Theatre, 214 W. Hickory St. The 1975 classic camp film finds a newly engaged, wideeyed young couple, Brad and Janet, stranded with a flat tire.

They look for shelter — and help — at a nearby castle. Once the doors close behind them, a bizarre cast of characters surround them. The master of the manor, Dr. Frank N Furter, has plans for the couple. (Don’t let his black panties fool you. The doctor has a bit of the mad scientist in him.) The romp is set to a rock music score. The send-up is a mash-up of BMovie sci-fi stuff, cross dressing and naughty innuendo.

There are major roles for 6 or 7 men and 3 or 4 women, and a chorus of 3 men and 3 women. Performers must be 18 to audition.

The musical runs Nov. 1322 at the Campus Theatre.

For more information, call Denton Community Theatre at 940-382-7014.

COVER STORY

Stopping the helicopter How the hover effect strands some children

By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor

and Leslie Barker The Dallas Morning News

New York author and blogger Lenore Skenazy asks what feels like a question tailormade for the parents of the 21st century: “How come it’s unusual or frowned upon or illegal to let your kid be out of your sight?”

For families today, the world seems riddled with dangers — from real terrors, such as pedophile teachers, to more abstract worries like which activities will best suit children for college in a far-off future.

Parental anxieties work their way into institutions, too.

In 2014, a South Carolina woman was arrested and jailed for letting her 9-year-old daughter play alone in a park while she worked at a nearby fast-food restaurant.

Parents today recall their own childhood years as being filled with unsupervised time.

When they were kids, today’s parents say walking to school with friends was no big deal.

They stayed at home when mom and dad went out on a date night, and put themselves to bed. They spent whole summer days at the swimming pool, or playing with neighborhood kids without checking in periodically.

When it comes to their own children, their experiences don’t exactly apply.

“I believe in helmets and seat belts and fire extinguishers,” Skenazy said from her New York home, where she writes about the topic on her website, www.freerangekids. com. “But I don’t believe our kids need a security detail every time they leave the house.”

Nowadays, parents tend to put an inordinate amount of

Dallas Morning News file photo

“Helicopter parents,” as some parents are called, tend to spend more time around their children and overhelping them with class assignments, among other things. thought into what their kids can do and when, and are often criticized — if not charged with child neglect — for such decisions as allowing their children to play outdoors without adult supervision.

Some parents deal with it by hovering, local educators said.

“I would definitely say it’s something I noticed happening after I’d been teaching for a while,” said Nancy Chumbley, an Argyle resident who taught in the town’s school district for 25 years.

Chumbley said as the community grew more affluent, and curricula grew more competitive, parents got more involved. And in some cases, she said, parents meddled.

She recalled one incident the year before she retired. A junior couldn’t fit her theater class into his already loaded schedule. She met the student halfway. But at near the end of the year, he turned in a paper that gave her pause.

“I read it and felt like, ‘Hmmm, this seems like he got this from somewhere else.’ Sure enough, I found the exact paper [online] and went to principal,” she said.

She and school officials dropped the student’s grade.

The summer passed, and then Chumbley got a call from the student’s parents.

“Mom made an appointment with me and wanted to talk about how the grade was

going to make it hard to get scholarships, and to get into the schools he wanted to get into,” Chumbley said.

Chumbley called for backup from her principal and a school counselor, but said the parents still lobbied to change the grade. The school didn’t back down.

Similar scenarios happened to her colleagues, and Chumbley said parents can be relentless if they think a coach or teacher has unfairly kept their child from a team or an honors class. Some parents aren’t happy even if their child makes a team — they insist on first string, she said.

“In a place like Argyle, everything is so competitive,” she

said. “Sometimes I felt so bad for the students. They could get so stressed out. Some students are driven, and they want it for themselves. But some students aren’t. Sometimes, it feels like parents think that if their kids don’t make an honors class or get on a team, it’s a slap in their face.”

Gary Ray, vice president for enrollment at Texas Woman’s University, said more faculty are hearing from mom and dad.

“Not only have I heard faculty mention that, I’ve had them report that to us when they need help with it,” Ray said.

From Page 9

Parents Ray said the root of the problem at colleges is communication between students and parents. Sometimes a parent will demand information or grades from the university, even though the Buckley Amendment of 1974 requires parents to get permission to access their student’s grades if the student is 18 or older.

“We have a number of staff on campus whose job is to help students develop at college, from resident assistants to academic advisers, teaching assistants, professors, deans, writing and counseling centers,” he said.

Parents can curb their impulse to step in and manage their children’s lives early on, said Wendy Middlemiss, a University of North Texas professor of educational psychology.

And the sooner parents start to prepare their children to be independent, the better.

“It’s important for children to test things out and succeed or fail in a structured and protected environment,” Middlemiss said. “It’s important to put children in the position to figure things out for themselves.”

How can a parent start to back off and let their child do more, even if a skinned knee or disappointment is a possibility?

Middlemiss said parents need to understand their child’s abilities and sensitivities. If the child is already in school, parents have to weigh a child’s abilities and temperament against coursework and expectations. Practice, and then let your child go it alone.

“If they are in middle school, you’re in the phase where you tell your child, ‘You need to do your homework.

You need to do your homework, and this is the time to do your homework,’” she said.

“Eventually, you have to let them not do their homework so they feel the unpleasant result.”

Middlemiss said parents also need to acknowledge that their children will excel in some areas and struggle in others.

“Failure is important,” she said.

“A test shows you what you know and what you don’t
