[quote=Anonymous]I'm a college professor, and I have a very difficult time conceptualizing how a HS student could ever contribute to or even meaningfully support research in my particular field. It's not snobbism - people can definitely learn to do what we do and I love to train them - but the knowledge and skill required take years to accumulate, as they do in many fields. (We don't often have repetitive or demarcated tasks that could be taught quickly to an intern, for example.) What that means is that it would be disingenuous and unfair for me or my institution to take money from a HS family and call the student's experience an "internship" when at most it would look more like filing.[/quote]
