It's true that many of us, in a certain age group and from certain geographies, attended TAG/GATE programs. I'm fascinated by the etiological details around that. There are some obvious, simple, boring explanations, of course, but put your talented and gifted cap on and give me your best insights, you tards.

ITT: former "gifted" kids coping with their wasted lives and squandered potential
I’d have done much better in life if liberal women hadn’t told me I was ‘gifted’ in my developmental years for being vaguely good at things and encouraged me to keep improving rather than getting arrogant and entitled. these programs are complete cancer. They embitter and discourage people who are doing perfectly fine and turn the smart kids such as myself into burn outs with superiority complexes
I was gifted and feel great about myself. Sorry you haven't realized your potential yet.
I learned to say NIGGER
The gate was always closed
my gate teacher from 4th grade popped up again as my history teacher in sophomore year. anyone else get a re-hash?
I was in this and like 4 of those kids grew up to be pedos. The smartest kid ended up coaching our high school girls soccer team and banged a few of them out, illegally. So there's that
This is very real. I was a part of it. These are some of the comfiest threads on pol. Share your experiences. Mine match to a T. Including the Israeli art school GF, although mine was technically dance school.
Rip. F
Basically we are going to turn into the death squad they feared & tried to brainwash us to be gay. It didn't work, 1488 babes
Ok groomer
I took a test in 6th grade and got in. Then I was promptly kicked out. I don't remember why.
I also got into something in 6th grade where we went to a university and listened to professors talk about things. I remember the microscope, the bunsen burners, and the things in jars, and also the smell, pungent.
I was in this and they did all kinds of "psychic" tests on me and gave me a dixie cup full of ? some pinkish liquid.
I have an interesting family tree, I am pretty sure they knew and wanted to see if I had the gift...which I did until shortly after this program.

Man, I loved gifted class. It was nice to have our own space for Whites where everyone was literate and actually cared about our education. Meanwhile, Tyrone down the hall still can't figure out how a belt works or that after 13 years of being out for menthols nog daddy isn't coming home.
I did TAG. I think the program at my grade school put a lot of emphasis on competition. The "winning" in the class room was compelling when I was younger but served to make me extremely arrogant by the time I was in middle school.
I still did okay in middle and highschool but didn't care to do homework any more. I would just wait for a test to "win" again at so my grades became mediocre and I never learned how to work hard at all.
I graduated college the same way (no homework, no class, high marks on tests and projects) which actually made me lose lots of confidence as I saw my peers getting better opportunities just by showing up.
I got engaged my senior year which helped me better my attitude towards work and finish my degree. I have a comfy job now and do not feel as much regret as I did through college. My social life is very normal.
Back to /x/ with you faggot
Troon Groomer
I was in the Canadian version of these programs
I did somewhat poorly in University, but since graduating I’ve done very well for myself, mostly due to doing programming and web design as a hobby and convincing my boss at a warehouse I was working at in Uni to let me handle their servers and IT dept.
From then on I’ve been working pretty comfortably and now live with my wife in Alberta doing webdev and server support.
Ironically I got more use out of browsing Any Forums than going to school for a meme degree.
This was research on autism before they knew what autism was. The government had to determine if this new neurodivergent subset of humanity was a threat to their brainwashing scheme. They ultimately determined that it was a threat, but one that was easily neutralized with outlets like Any Forums. DARPA invented the internet to contain the autistic REEEEEEEEing.
>Went to rich kid school despite being pooranon
>Kids playing with "hearing test" and the cards I've seen in these threads
>Explicitly told not to let me join but did it in front of me
>Taken to "speech therapy" to do things like guess days of week of certain days. Could actually do a lot of it.
>Interviewed by random "guest educators" who wanted to know why I liked tanks and planes so much (of course I did, I was 9,)
>Interviewed whether I had seen anybody do "mind movement" and I told about an experience I had with one of the kids who had the hearing test, I think this is where I "failed"
>The 2 other kids were successful, I was burned out on psychedelics and gnostic loser thinking (picrel) until I got it together in late 20s.
btw the people running the program were feminist lesbian hippies who generally ignored and figuratively shit on all the boys.
I know I'm one of them.
I just want to know what they did to me and why
Groomers used it to pick kids to groom. This explains, among other things, why OP is such a colossal faggot.
>Begone groomer. Nobody cares about your midwit IQ score.
>they did all kinds of "psychic" tests on me and gave me a dixie cup full of ? some pinkish liquid.
yeah. it tasted banana flavored. do you remember it being in a darkish room with the blinds closed?
>gifted kids who work for Fortune 50 companies that now regret being funneled.
I'm successful there first-post-worst-post, but that doesn't mean I don't regret taking another path and being a hermit.
Take the hermit pill fuckers. GATE was a psyop to compete with Soviets which is why it stopped in the late 90's or early 2000's. Also notice the lack of GATE in schools has risen with the inclusion and glorification of niggers in schooling.
Gifted doesn't mean what we told you it means. It means you were retarded and needed special attention and your parents didnt figure until it was too late. The program was a complete failure.
Then why did they test my IQ first? Was I retarded with a 138 IQ?
WHEN CAN THE UNVAXXED LEAVE AUSTRALIA
