@ashleeinc: Replying to @thepirategrrl if you were in the GATE program in the 80s/90s/00s please stitch this because I need to watch all of them to fill in the blanks. This is also a spooky scary storytime submission from an anon* woman who shared her experience about being in GATE and the strange gaps in her memory around the same time.

Stop y’all😭 I was in the GATE program from 1989 to 1999 and it was just Special Ed for intellectually advanced kids with neurodivergence and anxiety. It was not some major conspiracy.

I intentionally failed my GATE test the second time, first time i told my dad the things we did and he said “we’re moving”. He was in Vietnam and disliked the telekenesis tests or something

Present and accounted for. I was in the gifted program my whole life. I never broke a bone until my 30s. We did code breaking and a ton of riddles. I clearly remember figuring out what time on a digital clock would use the most lights using all the lights everything would be 88:88 obviously not a time so 10:08 but in military 20:08 I was the firsts to answer and gave both answers which is why I still remember. My mom was having my IQ tested from the time I was 2.

I was in the GATE program for 6 years and it had nothing to do with eye color or broken bones. It was simply an elevated curriculum. Goodness!!!

So much of my childhood around schooling is a blur. I can speed read, I can read backwards, inverted, upside down, a combination of numbers, letters. I remember the pink pills, the headphones in the windowless room

I actually do the testing for the gate program. The headphones are just a hearing test to make sure that there’s no interference before we do the real gifted testing. The testing is a lot of

I was in that program. Born in 1990. I have hazel eyes. I don’t remember much about it at all. It REALLY creeps me out how much I don’t remember from it 🤯

Me too! I remember the sound and I also remember someone holding cards and asking if I knew what the card was before showing me, like shapes and colors and images. Weird.

The GATE program was held in schools during school hours - elementary only. You were taken to a room with no windows. There would be vision tests with beeping sounds.

All of the GATE program kids from my school turned out to be extremely unremarkable or "worse" later on. They said they just did weird art projects and hearing tests. If anything, GATE was bad bc it--

I was in GATE from 2nd-8th grade, then proceeded to attend an over-achiever high school. Aside from all of the tests mentioned here I remember a special test in 7th grade deciphering complex patterns.
