Are my parents extreme?

On CNN there is an article about extreme parenting, so I read it and I keep wondering; are my parents extreme? On this article there are reasons and ways parents can be extreme. Such as, a kid gets suspended from school, so his mother comes up to the school and brings with her gold stars and good stickers from elementary school just to show the principal how good of a student he is. Also, telling people my child is going to be an athlete when they are older, but they have no proof from a coach that they will. Maybe even making there high school senior take SAT practice test 30 times before the real test. There was also a comment on there that said" should I have my baby crawl 2 miles each day, but I can tell she is really tired just after the first mile?" Now, these things are extreme.My parents I know can be extreme at times; making me practice 24/7 and making it a hard practice because they want me to be a professional swimmer. Yes, I want to be one, but I'm not 20. I have a while before I have to train for that stuff. I especially want free time as a teen. Anyways, I'm just saying, If you want to be a good parent go read this article.
