Was anyone else here in the GATE/Gifted program in Elementary School?
I was in it and I have a lot of weird memories about it. I can't find any information on who runs the program, or if it is even a single program. Was it a federal government thing?
My whole memory of it is very hazy for some reason despite going there twice a week for 5 years.
Almost all of what we learned about pertained to geopolitics. The windows were covered in brown paper in all of the classrooms we used. They made us listen to audio recordings of static or nature sounds out of a tape recorder with headphones. They would also randomly take individual students and make them listen to the recordings alone or make them build legos or something.
I don't remember doing very much actual work besides a yearly project. What little work we had to do was not graded.
