[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand how colleges claim to care about equity (ie scrape SAT) and then love published student research. 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.[/quote] 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.[/quote]
