Have you seen the list of winners? Many are fake just to get in to college.[/quote]

What makes you think the winners are fake? Do you know the winners?

You can't fake most of this. My kids are involved (and won) several of these and it's all natural interest. There is nothing I can do to help them with it... in fact, I'm usually telling them to stop writing, stop reading, stop playing your instrument, stop singing and do your schoolwork. In fact, it is a constant battle. [/quote]

Because a couple of years later they major in CS at Stanford.[/quote]
