I am hoping qualifying for SET will give us a resource to help dd navigate an educational system that just doesn't "get" her.
My son joined the SET. They send us Imagine magazine, geared to high school students. Non-SET members can subscribe to it. They also send a newsletter listing new SET members with their pictures and a list of their interests and activities and news about older SET members. When SET started, there was no Internet, and such a newsletter could inform parents and students of new opportunities. Now there are many other places to get information, including this site. So SET is fine as far as it goes, but it has made little difference for my son. A school that knows a 4th-grader (my son) scored 700+ on the math SAT ought to think about how to challenge him. Our school has not. Yesterday evening his homework was simple story problems using fractions. He finishes it in 10 minutes and does not complain (good boy).
