[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really dislike these kinds of competitions because they are just so unfair to begin with. Certain kids will just never have the opportunity or connections to begin to even fathom projects like these. [/quote]

We're research scientists, and I can guarantee that my senior does not have the capabilities despite opportunity and connections! Finalists truly deserve the honor. Now are there smart and capable students who don't have the opportunity or connections? Sure, but you do realize you could say this about test prep, living in a good school district, having a supportive family or money for college, etc. It's unfair to target science competitions specifically, when inequity impacts all areas of one's life.

I think PP is a troll who goes all-out in expressing disapproval of any type of academic recognition to lampoon the equity activists.  He's been posting on the TJ threads a lot.  People take him seriously until they don't.

To win an award like this you need more than opportunity and connections.  You also need intelligence and persistence. [/quote]

Nice try but that’s not me.[/quote]
