[quote=Anonymous]All "internships" are not created equal and it's not a box that gets checked anywhere. Some kinds of internships may be useful in giving a kid a chance to learn about a field they are interested in, contribute in a way that goes beyond what they can do in school setting, etc. But the focus of high school should not be on "getting internships", they will have all those years of college for that. And many other kinds of activities may help kid meet those goals. Focus on should be on trying new things, developing skills and leadership qualities ("leadership" loosely defined, don't need to be club president), and being able to articulate what they are interested in in and ahy school X is a great fit for them.[/quote]
