[quote=Anonymous]I predict that high school “research” or publications wouldn’t be nearly as overrated going forward. The distinguishing feature of true research is its uncertainty and repeated failures. This idea of a high school kid publishing research is oxymoron. We often dread advising even undergrad kids as we have to find a small cute self-contained problem for them (and provide tons of guidance along the way). For those parents who are adamant that your kids came up with the problem themselves. But how to twist it into an executable project takes expertise! For those magnet or elite high schools with a research class, how many teachers have actually done real research themselves? The vast majority of Ph.D.s never even publish a paper in a decent journal.[/quote]
