[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you may know a few who do this and are adding “many” into your statements. How many parents are telling you that they hired people to write their kids’ essays. [/quote] Many meaning more 10, not a majority. I can think of at least ten kids whose moms are asking the community for donations for their kid’s nonprofit. The better ones with professional looking websites and big donors are definitely crafted by parents. My kid has been doing science Olympiad since elementary school and I saw the parents who would carry the build structures like it was theirs and be the ones to explain how it works. I’m not saying all or the majority has parent help. There is one kid in my kid’s grade whose dad definitely built and won first. My child also competed in the same event and placed top 5. We didn’t help at all besides buy him some supplies he requested. Our child definitely grew up with privilege and also has advantages. It is obviously easier for a well established adult in their forties or fifties to set up a start up or nonprofit than a 15yo. [/quote]
