[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same way parents start their kids in obscure sports and use $$$ per hour coaches and fly all over the world for camps and tournaments. The kids of top college alums in our NYC private have a set of activities cultivated since elementary school and private tutors to maintain grades. Then their parents make sure they have good internships in college. I know parents paying $200 per hour for math olympiad coaching. It never ends. However, the good news is some bright kids still do well in the college process based on their own efforts and merit.  [/quote]

It’s not the same with sports. In sports, the result still depends on the kid and their efforts.

You can have the best coaches and they won’t make your kid successful without their hard work.[/quote]

The best "coaches"  for young people learning to do science research do not do the projects for them.  Anyone doing that is not qualifying for any kind of best "coach" award.

Discourage your child from learning about science research if you think it's all a bunch of bull crap.  There are plenty of other pursuits that high school students can get involved in.  The science research program at our local high school is excellent.  It's certainly not popular, but it is a good experience for the students that do want to be involved.[/quote]
