How many of you were in this program growing up? I remember the GT & Discovery classes, the covered windows because they didnt want kids seeing what we do in there, the weird flash cards, the strange questionnaires and all the science experiments.
I've recently heard a lot of similarities from other people who were in these programs...We all seem to have family with lots of military connections and dead really well on standardized tests, etc.
There also seems to be other similarities like having been pressured into playing sports your whole life
meeting a soulmate that appeared out of nowhere and then left suddenly or randomly
They also tend to have paranoid ideas of being watched by the groups that groomed them while growing up
Does anyone have more to say about this interesting and schizo idea?
Last Thread: The previous thread died so quick I barely had time to catch up with it lol.
They were uninformed. The gate program didn't have to tell the faculty what they were doing as they ensured no harm would come to us. I'm not sure as it's been a while but I do remember my dad asking if they hit us in the program then joking that they should. The teacher was not amused. I also remember that the gate room in 3rd to 5th grade changed every day. We were given a pattern to memorize every week of the schedule of where the rooms were.
Now that I'm actually putting thought into it the whole program is shady as fuck and the faculty acted like it wasn't happening. There wasn't anything nefarious going on though.

Rewarding yet challenging and I'm not at liberty to discuss my pay but I can assure you it comes at almost no expense to the tax paying contingents of my district.

My GT teacher was nice old librarian. We went on some cool fieldtrips, and did some fun projects a couple times a week. Was only in it for one year but was pretty fun desu.
Texas here btw
Jaxon Taylor
Seriously folks check out that last thread, I am amazed at the amount of people with experiences related to this who use this board
Maybe its just more likely we'd end up here, but a lot of people are reporting that they feel funny about the experience as well. And if you look into it, it does seem kind of shady.
Maybe this was an early form of some sort of thing going on now as well
Justin Diaz
Public school is soft prison for brown children to prevent them from committing crimes and getting unwed pregnancies. White families in the know do home school or home tutoring.
Ian Williams
I remember it it being mostly fun as well lol. But it felt kind of odd to go and do it while the rest of the class was doing some other thing. I was in Texas as well.
I've now found my self living somewhere else across the country by pure chance..this place is filled to the brim with these secret society types and their public artifacts
thats a topic for another thread though i guess lol

Story With Holes guy here, was just browsing a list of these stories.
They gave us these around 8 years old, dozens of them, rapid fire. There was a giant notebook of them.
>One hundred people were traveling down the Amazon River on a flatboat when the boat, in calm water, capsized and all were drowned.
>Mr. Allen was reading a newspaper and came across an article about the death of a woman in the Swiss Alps. Reading that Dr. Jone's wife had accidentally fallen to her death while skiing, Mr. Allen went to the police and told them "Jones murdered his wife". After questionting, Jones confessed to the crime. How did Mr. Allen know?
>A mans dead body hangs form rope tied to the center of a ceiling beam in a large empty room. His feet are ten feet from the floor. Nothing else is in the room
and a hard one >A murder was committed before thousands of people, but all of them thought it was an accident.

I was also in GATE, the only weird part I can remember was the penis inspections. None of the other kids use to get them, just the boys in our class.
Cooper Brown
>Rorschach Test.
I had to do a WISC. Followed by multiple personality tests. Physical puzzles. 3D thinking from physical to paper. And pictures to find narratives and emotional state.
I think my first battery to get in was 2 half days. The second, which was just around puberty, was near a week of half days. My ticket out of the program/'exit interview' when I decided to get out was a full week of interrogation and deprivation study.
Isaac Phillips
So what's the deal with some of us reporting an experience with a "soul mate" that came into our lives then vanished all of a sudden?
About a year ago, I developed brief but passionate relationship with drop dead gorgeous chick I met online. The moment I started to express sticking together long-term, she went total bitch mode on me and then blocked me on her phone and then Nosebook.
It was incredibly odd, and I remember being so distressed from it that I had a nervous breakdown and walked my ass to the ER because of it. I was also going through some heavily stressful shit at that point with my family, and that brief encounter I had utterly slayed me...

We need to find lists of everyone who was in these gifted and talented programs and then find out what happened to all of them, check the % of people who died, failed, jailed, successful, government jobs, etc. There has to be some way we can crowd-investigate this, I dont want to wait another 30 years for top secret GATE document declassification
Justin Mitchell
To be very honest it was...jeez...a decade ago, at least, so I can't remember too much.

It's because some of you are weak betas who don't get laid. Therefore any positive female attention makes you go full clinger.

Can someone elaborate on the soulmates thing?
Colton Taylor
5th grade is when 9/11 happen for me and the princibal announced on the intercom that there was something in the air. I wonder if that was planned. One time in 3rd grade I wrote in a short story about blowing up the school out of my own childhood frustration and once the teacher read that they brought me to the principals office and questioned me about columbine. I was just in 3rd grade! I sat there and cried my eyes out and begged for my mom. The GT program seems to be a way to establish social hierarchy because when I was school I was extremely sad that I wasnt included into the program while every single one of my friends were. I grew up in a very liberal school with many minorities...as a white male I feel they purposefully picked on me. There were many times the teachers just out right told me there was no hope for me academically.
Ethan Martin
I was in 2 dif G&T programs at 2 dif schools, as I aged obvs.
Nothing strange ever happened. They actually, purposefully, opened the world up to me - gave me the tools to actually think about the world around me, taught me survival skills, didn't parse tongues over the things that actually led WW1 to WW2. Eye opening experience. They wouldn't even drop me when I started failing all my classes because I never did work, just allowed me to move on because I test well.
No MKULTRA shit in my experience at least.
Mason Evans
It's lonely nerd bullshit from socially maladjusted candidates.
Ayden White
Could they leave the boat? Was there an explosion, or some other disaster that caused the boat to sink rapidly?
Did Mr. Allen know Dr. Jones or his wife?
He used the rope to climb to the ceiling beam, and then dropped from the beam with the rope around his neck.
Sebastian Roberts
>A mans dead body hangs form rope tied to the center of a ceiling beam in a large empty room. His feet are ten feet from the floor. Nothing else is in the room
Fuck i remember that one and one about an opera singer lady in a glass house. The answer to your's was a block of dry ice was used to prop him up.
Luis Gutierrez
Wew lad. You're not ready for the program.

to this day the only people i really feel a deep connection with are the kids that were in gifted with me
i miss them so much

I went to Catholic school there was no GATE program there. What does that mean for private school kids?
Julian Barnes
I can remember small details. We were in like a spare room. It was green. They had us writing compositions. The Rorschach Test. It was every...Friday? Maybe Wednesday? For like one class. If anyone wants I can go back to my elementary school and ask some questions.
Nicholas Martin
I was asked to be in GATE in School but my Parents declined
Henry Morales
Okay so private (Catholic) school here. Never had any of these programs, but when I was young we did SAT for the first few years and then switched over to these tests called Terra Nova (which is a mildly spooky name in hindsight) for no reason. Anyone got a greenpill on what was up with those tests instead of SATs?

I really dislike these "creativity questions" because they require you to make assumptions for which there is no information, which is actually intellectually incorrect. It just identifies people with expansive imaginations who believe things they imagine, but for which there is no evidence.

Jordan Myers
same, they still followed us, though. There seems to have been two categories of G.A.T.E. students. Category 1 was kids that after the G.A.T.E. program seemed to have been 'selected' these kids seemed to have been groomed for specific classes and all pursued advanced stem degrees or political degrees, these kids also seem to have been helped along towards that end. Category 2 are kids who 'didnt get selected'. They found themselves in positions where their education was sabotaged from middle school on, refused entry into honors roll and other things that would make children that would otherwise be high achievers give up and become massive underachievers. All Sup Forumsacks are category 2.
Jose Nelson
Maybe you're the washout which is why you remember it!

It wasn't like we didn't do other shit. Symbolic logic at 9, learned algebra at 8, proofs, all that fun stuff. But I think the Stories and similar puzzles prevented deep artisanal autism.

Ah so that's why I didn't get anything weird when I was at gifted class back then at highschool.

Did this persist even if you tried to blend in?
To the rest of you anons, what state are you in? Do we know if this program is federal or varies from state to state?
Ryan Hill
Sounds about right
Easton Clark
Was anyone else also chosen for a "Peer Mediator" program? It was around the same time for me.
Sebastian Reed
Don't worry. This is the age of Big Data, meaning all the records are going to get databased. That means the database will at some point get leaked.
All they're banking on is retaining power until whatever form of singularity they manage to effect so that the leak won't matter.
Xavier Lee
I had a friend who was also one of those kids who had family legacies at Ivy schools and were all involved with military and was in GT and better programs went off to a good college too..
Anyway, him and I used lots of drugs before HS graduation and he had an insane mental breakdown and got put on meds. He was never the same. Totally catatonic, violent, paranoid, and asocial.
Later on he meets a chick online, they develop a close relationship, go off and do psychs together, fall in love intensely and believe theyre soulmates.. Suddenly, out of nowhere once this had happened for a week or two she pretends she hates him wont talk to him and disappears from everyone's knowledge completely. From my own experience, I was about to graduate, move off to college, was doing well and had a little job, etc. Suddenly, I meet this girl who also has family with secret society and NASA connections, we fall in love all these divine coincidences and winks left & right, leads me to believe its some sort of "soulmate" style love
As soon as it gets beautiful haha, the world comes crashing down around us and tries to tear us apart(All these various things collide at once that make it impossible for us to keep seeing each other), so we take off together and have been living together since, but its been an insane ride. I won't go into any details of course, but its bananas.
I WOULD LOVE to hear more experiences related to this soulmate trick stuff because I've heard about so often as a storytelling trope, experiences "famous people" have had or gang stalked individuals, etc etc
William Martin
tl;dr >gets diagnosed schizo >turns out to be schizo
So apparently there's a citywide and districtwide program. I reckon I was in the district one.
James Harris
We could at least try and track down the heads and ringleaders and see where those connections go
Christian Peterson
I was in the gifted program. They literally sat you in a room and did not teach you anything. You were supposed to start reading books and pass the midterms and final. Needless to say most of my class failed because children need to be led.
In other words, it stifles the education of kids identified as genius (IQ 120+)
Michael Anderson
Same. There were obv advanced level and reg lev courses for math and reading. But no shit like this. I was an awkward kid and would get bused to the public school for speech courses. I think that was normal as well and part of my IEP since it continued all throughout highschool. (Chicago burbs)
Andrew Rogers
i was in g&t in 3rd grade. but i don't remember anything weird. my teacher was a fat annoying cunt but that was the case with basically all my teachers. what's the big deal?
Jacob Sanders
What OTC drug did you OD on?
Cooper Sanders
Ausfag here. I was in GAT up until the 4th grade when i didnt want to go on a "field trip" to the national capitol.
Always thought it was odd they always made us do exams and had medical people come and check us.
Luis Murphy
Yeah we had "Conflict Managers."
Funny story I was brainstorming about how to deal with the rapefugee situation here one day with some smart dude who eventually revealed he had a similar program in school and was now working as an advisor for UN policy. We agreed that the program was bullshit and the right thing to do would be to execute swift overwhelming force in this case rather than try to resolve the conflict. Those clipboard conflict manager goody two-shoes girls were the worst.
Cameron Scott
The Bogandoffs ran a quality control battery in the 90's on the youth in order to assess who would become high value assets for future endeavors and ensure their success later in life regardless of financial status.
Most of the program was a success as it seems. Some crazies think we might be the next world leaders that were groomed from the start but I don't see that as I'm 25 and still in public office.
John Fisher
>bringing IQ into it >not being fuctional autodidact
Failure.
Matthew Watson
Ive seen many people describe similar things in some of the other linked threads.
Its not about a "real" soulmate necessarily though it could be, as much as it is about a relationship style that could be used to cause attachment and then loss and "fracture" your identity in some way
Idk much about this because I haven't lost my soulmate, but I see so many people with these "femme fatale" experiences, that I would not be surprised that something is up with it for SOME people..
Ryder Carter

Angel Williams
Catholic school here as well I remember taking the Terra Nova's as well.
Henry Stewart
Yeah guys, let's teach children to speculate wildly, rather than develop investigative skills and to only reach conclusions from facts rather than imagination.
Nicholas Martinez
We had one class that was basically an LSAT prep course, I enjoyed that one it was rather fun. There were about 15 of us in all the the advanced classes but only 3 of us in another program. The three of us in that program also took the SAT / ACT in 7th grade and then again in 10th. They also pushed us to do a bunch of academic competitions against other schools.
I lost interest in my senior year when I discovered LSD, weed, and pussy. Kind of regret losing interest, I could've ended up going to a way better Uni. One of us is now a surgeon, the other went into the military and became an interrogator or some shit. I am a robotics engineer now but kind of hate it haha
Jacob Martin
Or you're way too fucking attaching to pussy.

Again, I get it. Autism speaks, I'm just not listening sweety.
Jacob Nguyen
We're sharing what we remember.
Brandon James
Yes to some extent. Being held at arms length is how I could describe it. Any attempt to get to know people beyond small talk results in me never seeing the person again or them not acting the same.
Also what is with the amnesia? I have large chunks of memory missing. Worse yet most of what I "remember" has been told to me repeatedly by those around me. The more I think about it the more my head starts to hurt.

Nolan Butler
My school system probably thought I was legit retarded and put me in supplementary classes because in kindergarten grade I just didn't do any of my homework, I would do fine on the tests but didn't do homework. I also had a speech impediment so that probably didn't help my case either.
I got put in with the "gifted students" in 5th grade and continued until the end of middle school. I didn't do any of the weird shit you guys are describing, just more math and reading. Maybe if I started younger I would have.
My slacker piece of shit kindergarten self saved me from being conditioned.

It's OK man. I get it. You cannot admit your inability to not be dumbstruck by pussy. It's sad, so sad.

Lookup adolescent development and early adulthood developmental milestones.
Understand that experiencing severe loss of a romantic partner is a part of development that you have to get through.
I could tell you about a Ms. Rigid I use to date in high school who has been in and out of my life for the last 10 years. Last I saw her I was helping her cheat on her boyfriend of 6 years with me and my current gf by getting in a 3 way. That's not even the most fucked up thing me and Ms. Rigid did together or to each other either. In a way she's the only woman that no matter how many times she fucks me over I'll always forgive her. Call it what you want. >I won't put up her first name because she has many fans in Sup Forums that don't need to hear about the horrid shit we've done.
Carter Rogers
This isn't constructive. Can we not just try to stay on topic and figure out if there was a more sinister purpose to this program?

You should have been seeing a psychiatrist instead of sitting in a class for normal smart kids.

the psycic testing seems odd now that I think about it. did everyone have these in their programs.

You guys think there'd be any way of accessing who was in TAG programs in a given year? I wonder if we could find if some sketchy people were in the program, serial killers, ect.
