[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These projects are nothing more than the high school version of the second grade science project. Parent conceived, directed and constructed, with a tiny bit of help from the child. Because those are the projects that win!!![/quote]

OP here. DH and I had no help from our parents. [b]My son did Science Olympiad and some of the build events were insane.[/b] I doubt my child will ever win one of these competitions on a national level. He placed 5-10th place on several events but that is just states.[/quote]

When my kid was in 4th grade, his class had to do projects on the Titanic, the Terrcotta Army, (and something else - I can't remember).  My son made some sort of poster on the Titanic, but kids from his class had giant 3-D models that had been professionally built.  It was ridiculous -- and clearly obvious it had not been created by the student.

I don't know a single HS kid who has a non-profit or start-up, yet I keep hearing about it like it's ubiquitous.  I think it's all on paper.[/quote]
