If doing research in high school is unfair and puts poorer students at a disadvantage, what extracurriculars are fair?

Most high schoolers who did research I know about have academic center physician parents, or in a minority of cases, donors to academic medical centers or parents that work at a national lab. High schoolers are not getting research gigs unconnected when even they’re competitive for college students.

They don't love published student research because they realize that just like the 'non-profit' it is typically a scam.

They actually do. Try to cope harder.

Go F yourself

I wish you fk’ed yourself so you didn’t bring innocent kids that you didn’t deserve into this world.

My kids are fine.

You’re an a-hole. GFY.

I doubt it. Wish I met you before to spare you a couple of quarters for condoms.

We played the admissions game and they had many unfair advantages. They were legacy, did research in HS, and are now attending T10 & T25.

You are still a f-ing a-hole.

Typical liberal liar. Nothing coming out of your mouth is worth a penny.

Did I miss a memo that said life is fair? We should not be holding our kids back from opportunities because it might not be "fair" to someone elses kid.

I’m sure some are scams but some kids do create real non-profits and some do real research.

Did you not teach your kid about the things that you knew about? People teach their kids how to fix cars, how to play sports, how to write, how to speak a variety of languages, how to cook and on and on.

If a research scientist teaches their child how to do research, they are allowed to do that. And there are also research programs in high schools that will teach kids about science research if they're interested.

Truth hurts.

MAGAs are anti-education so fortunately most kids at T25s are not spawn of MAGA a-holes.

This is the MAGA way. Burn it all down. Government. Schools. Universities. Science. Public Health.

They’re fomenting chaos to distract while they abuse their powers and pilfer the coffers.

Even before the internet era, anyone can read papers from ZTH, Cornell and for that matter any other institution. Just go to academic libraries that subscribe to the journals, just like accessing it electronically.

Most don’t work this way anymore and require an institutional affiliation to do such. They’re paying hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to get access to these journals. It wouldn’t make sense to give it to the public.

Access to scientific information is actually getting worse over time due to the academic publishing industry. Arxiv is one of the few organizations fighting this mess.

Accessing peer-reviewed journals electronically also requires academic affiliation, no different than physical paper access at library. That's the point.

Should we eliminate academic research at universities as well because poor [insert color] kids don’t have access to peer-reviewed journals?

No one said this, hinted at it, nor alluded to it. Do you have an addiction to talking about people of color?

This discussion just shows how effectively the system divides people and distracts society from more urgent issues.

The logic is the same.

Nope. I get that they like to play victim, but they did that all on their own. They own their willful ignorance and general a$$holery. They chose the cult.

Im so happy at how much my kids have benefitted from their advantages. There seems to be some new education initiative to prop up URMs every other day. It almost always does the opposite and sometimes even degrades general education outcomes for all who arent paying attention. The harder these people try to prop URMs up, the larger the gap grows, and I celebrate this.

You are a disgusting POS.
