[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She needs to be working on the sort of research (with the right sort of mentor in academic science) that could possibly lead to her becoming a Regeneron finalist. Those are the kids who publish in scientific journals before graduating from high school. Some high schools specialize in preparing students for this and have formal programs to help them find mentors, etc.

I also know some students who "published" in academic journals before graduating from high school because they have parents or other relatives who research and publish regularly, and they added their kid as an "author". One would hope that college admissions officers could see right through, say, the dermatologist's child publishing an article in a dermatology journal. But unfortunately, the last kid I know who did this got into Harvard.  :roll: [/quote]

Parents teach their children all manner of skills.  The goals should not be to not have kids learning about science form their scientist parents - it should be to increase research programming curriculum so that students without PHD relatives, can also learn these skills if thy are interested.[/quote]
