[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They want to see intellectual curiosity. They want to seedrive. They want to see an academic interest that the kid has shown initiative in. It does not require it to be published.

Can the kid do research with a high school teacher? Present at an assembly and self submit to a high school journal or somewhere the high school teacher recommends? No requirement for publishing!![/quote]

What school do you think has a high school kid present his independent research at an assembly of a captive audience of other students UNLESS that is a bogus thing all students do? [/quote]

Private schools do this upon teacher request/discretion. And no, not everyone does it.

Unimpressive unless it is dressed up to look impressive by a fake description.[/quote]

NP. I think you are missing the point. Research isnt about impressing people. Its about kids exploring new areas of interest outside their normal schooling. Writing, presenting, etc are great experiences. Our school offers special nights (stem/humanities) where kids present their outside work/interests and people ask questions after the presentations. Published work is not essential and i think is increasingly viewed with skepticism. Published research is like the old dated trends of starting non profits and those expensive global service trips. Nothing wrong with pay to play, but I think similar outcomes can be achieved more organically and authentically.  [/quote]
