Last thread 404'd with no archive for no reason despite the fact that it was interesting. Fucking faggot janitors can't stand any thread that isn't about Trump.
We were discussing the hidden motives behind the GATE and gifted program for those of us going to school in the late 80's early 90's.
To this day I still don't know what they were testing me for. I had a college reading level in 4th grade and I distinctly remember my teachers eventually starting to try and dumb me down. We were going to read Treasure Island in class so I brought my personal copy (one of my favorite books. read multiple times.) The teacher took it away from me and gave me the Sparknotes version and told me that it was going to slow me down a bit. All I remember is throwing a giant temper tantrum, cursing, throwing desks like an autist until a parent/teacher conference told me that I wasn't allowed to have books anymore. This was around 9/11.
My A's started going to C's and D's. It wasn't until Junior year I had a teacher who took me aside and told me that she knew I already knew the material (Great Gatsby) and didn't have to do the final paper because I'd already showed I knew the book. She forged a signature allowing me back into the honors program for my senior year despite not having the grades.
To this day I have learned to botch any sort of personality evaluation IQ tests. Just filled in the same bubble all the way down for the SAT's. Purposefully threw the IQ tests.
Am I an autist? I always felt like they were trying to "get me." In my early 20's I'd take acid and the voices would say, "We are watching you we see everything you are doing and the game is rigged its been rigged before you were born you were bought and sold its all been planned you aren't alone."
So, whether it was a santanic schizo conspiracy or not, we can all agree that they fucked us up, right?

user you can't start a GATE thread with pure emotion... You have to make it short. And sweet. And use the same pic we have been using since yesterday..
And honestly? You give opposition control vibes.

First time seeing the thread pop up. Second that I was done typing up my post the thread 404'd and I couldn't find it again. Haven't heard anyone talking about GATE since I was in school.
As for opposition: eh, autist atheist 1776 libertarian. Voted Trump. Know how to fix a flat tire and gut a fish. Don't got a problem with Christians anymore. They are absolutely right about the degenerates. I just don't believe. I understand if I'm a heretic.

Ayden Mitchell
Yeah, that was the end of it. They first started testing me in kindergarten in 1993 or so. By 9/11 I was already old enough for them to know whether I was useful or not.
Im not sure if gate specifically fucked me up, but im 35 now and fucked up. I cant even try to fit in and play the game of normalcy.
Aiden Perry
I was in it elementary through middle school. High school didn't have the program. I don't remember anything strange about it other than when I was tested in 2nd grade. The questions were puzzle matching, but a lot of them were repeats. I also remember being mad that I was pulled out of class because I was new to the school anyway. I got angry at my mom and told her to stop signing me up for random things.... She seemed confused and said she didn't sign me up for it. California 2003/2004
Lincoln Allen
idk but i think they do these programs
Juan Collins
The Gate program wasn't for "gifted" children. It was for children with learning/thinking styles known to be resistant to school room propaganda. You were identified by the fact that you "played" tests like they were games. You strategized how to beat them instead of absorbing the propaganda inherent within them.
Evan Adams
This sounds too accurate.
Gavin Evans
i meant to say that i thin they STILL do these programs
Blake Martinez
this doesn't jive with being offered grade skips
source: my parents were offered to skip me but declined, fuck them for that
Kayden Nguyen
To be fair, I've actually accomplished a lot. I have the profession and level of education you'd expect from someone with my IQ.
I just also fucked up a lot and I'm deeply unhappy in ways that make me comfortable on a Babylonian Sheep-Skinning Forum.
Wyatt Allen
>"Everything in my life has to be connected" The offer to skip grades was presented because you're smart. You were put into the GATE program because you are the wrong kind of smart.
Connor Russell
dont forget to download the whole ressource folder and research for your own.
I forgot what my program was called. It made a turn schizo retard in middle school. I have a 152 iq taken in nys forensic psych facility. I think they got me. Idk
Andrew Ross
Dumb ass parents didn’t let me skip any grades and put me in speech therapy for having a raspy voice and nodules. Aka screaming abuse to my vocal chords. Mid Hudson psych senior year of high school then back to jail. Perfect score on the ged test.
Juan Murphy
I might be. I have family in Israel. My christian father would allow me to take the jewish blessing and have me circumcised before i knew what any of it meant.
Just last week he told me that they used to call my brother and i the “little aryans”.
Feels gross user

Thanks for the help anons

Got nothing to do with it, but bumping because this shit is interesting.
John Morris
I was in gate, it's no coincidence the government was involved and we all ended up here
Wasn't GATE where I was from... they called it TAG. Same basic thing, though. Had a super high reading level for my age, was skilled in art and music, got accepted into the program. I still have the letter of recommendation buried in my stuff. Parents were kind of hoarders, kept all my old school shit. I don't completely buy any conspiracy behind it, though. I barely remember anything about it. If anything fucked me up it was going to a Montessori-style school for 3 years before public school. NOW that place was a trip. Any other Montessori fags also in gifted programs? Maybe they're both MKUltra mind games.
Grayson Gutierrez
My elementary school repeatedly tried to put me in GATE for several years, but my mom kept refusing it. She worked with my siblings and I a lot at home on academic stuff, and felt having me on a different schedule, being pulled out of class all the time would be disruptive to my life. I still have no idea what the program was even for. This was late 80s/early 90s.
Wyatt Fisher
Stop larping, wait for the night shift.
Levi Phillips
This is stupid. I wish I'd had access to a gifted program early. I never did.
I badly wanted out of the regular class with peers who hated schoolwork and beat me for defending public education.
If there'd been a gifted program, I would've gotten beaten less in my formative years, leading to more normal social development.
Yet you creeps are spreading primitivist bullshit against it!
Austin Ortiz
Where can i take an IQ test? Just did one and it wanted $20 for results. Spose that already puts me pretty low
Kevin Torres
Was anyone else involved with a similar program, AIG- Academically Intellectually Gifted? I remember being in it from 1st grade until I moved after 5th grade.
It was a program where about half the school day I was removed from the rest of my class, and placed in a half classroom/half office space with about four other students my age. We solved mathematic equations, and did a lot of IQ style and vocational style tests, despite being taught nothing on the subject. In fact, the one teacher we were assigned to, I literally cannot remember who they were as they did not teach us anything-must not have been part of the program.
Luis Walker
another leftist data mining thread.
Blake Peterson
Any other GATE kids here diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia? Not trying to gaslight, just trying to figure out what they did to us.
No but I was hyper sexual as a kid, diagnosed with ADHD which I "grew out of" as I got older, and my biological father killed himself because he was bipolar. And they gave him the wrong meds.
Michael Wood
The online ones are all garbage. Do a proper test or don't bother at all.
Isaac Lopez
I was pretty hyper sexual too. Been masturbating since I was 10. Maybe 9. I don’t remember a lot from my childhood though.
Mason Martinez
I have no idea what the program was called in my area, but I do remember what they were trying to teach me... Or rather, what they were trying to force me to do. Every class was the same basic drivel... >"user, read me this page out of your text book..." >"No, no, no. Don't skip the names and dates, those are super, super important! You can't just learn the core concepts, user! You have to memorize all this useless tertiary information!"
Bentley Wilson
I was in a GATE equivalent in elementary school and we just did puzzles and shit.
I was in 2 actual GATE classes in middle school and in one we made little paper models of nuclear power plants and in the other we watched Hitchcock movies and The Outer Limits. Doesn't really seem like some kind of satanic conspiracy to me.
Jaxon Nguyen
Weird, I was also hyper sexual as a kid. Is this a common thread for gifted kids? I told some dudes I was already wanting to fuck at like 6 years old and they thought I was crazy.
Josiah Allen
I've had people show up looking for me annually since the gate program.
They're wanting to interview me for some research crap they say.
Its weird
Ayden Gutierrez
Eh coronachan wont see that happen any time soon. Surely there is one available that can give me a ball park figure.
Julian Flores
I was tested into gate by observing some specific photographs. I can still visually recall them in my minds-eye. 1. A girl in pink pajamas combing her hair in the mirror. I was asked to spot what was 'wrong' about the photo. 2. A scuba diver underwater near a coral reef. Again asked to explain what was 'wrong' about the photo.
I think the only thing I noticed in the first photo was that the text on her pajama top wasn't backwards in the mirror.
In GATE I recall we got free cookies, orange juice and milk pints and did some computer learning. Our teacher also had a golden retriever named Lucy who was fun to pet. We once went out into the woods to suck up bugs into a cup with a net using straws to observe them. That was all I can recall. One of my peers who was pretty redpilled/intelligent at a young age also was in the program a year ahead of me. Otherwise I eventually left GATE, but can't remember what exactly I learned or why/when.
hello sunny i enjoy ur feed but the trannies in ur discord are cancer
Jack Bennett
I also get weird flash backs to the classes whenever I watch zookeepers studying their chimps. The emotions that the chimps display look almost identical to what it felt like doing those tests/classes. It was like my "zookeepers" where trying to convince me to show everyone how smart I was... Who knows maybe my zookeepers just wanted to be the person that discovered the next Einstein sop they could brag to all their friends.
Oliver Morris
Do any other anons know if Speech Therapists had anything to do with GATE? In 4th and 5th grade I remember getting taken out of class so I could go to “Speech Therapy” for about an hour or so. By then, I was reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, didn’t get why Speech Therapy was necessary.

>We are watching you we see everything you are doing and the game is rigged its been rigged before you were born you were bought and sold its all been planned you aren't alone
nobody had a sane or wholesome experience there, they were fucking with something
Jeremiah Nelson
It doesn't surprise me that her majesties loyal subject would be so concerned with memorizing dates and names. What is royalty, if not a guaranteed mention in every history book from here to kingdom come? When the queen dies, I'll forget her instantly. If she is lucky I might remember some of the good deeds she's done, but her name wont be attached to them. >only a psychopath would be insulted by this.
Sebastian Campbell
allright folks listen
you may heard of me in one of the last gate threads (0x92)
im currently searching for individuals all allround the circle of earth which were in the GATE program / or have been labeled with ADHD/ADD
We will build an international research community with the purpose to connect and unite together working on self-realisation, self improvement, education, contacts, projects
did you have a speech issue user? desu i did speech therapy and gate but the speech therapy didn't get into the psychological reasons driving the speech issue e.g. not saying the wrong thing to self-involved teachers.

Take your meds, but unironically. They'll help. If not for you, it will help us. So we dont have to read your gibberish and delusions of grandeur.
Ian Turner
I was in gate, when I hit 6th grade I had a teacher who sabotaged me. Her son's name was Lazarus...
I was talking to my mom about it who is an eighth grade teacher and she gave me one of the tests that they use now.
The last question is about whether you agree with the outcome of the results and my answer was, “even if i did why would you expect me to tell the truth.”
I won’t share my score as it isn’t important but my mom guessed my girlfriend would score around 20 points lower. She did.
Now i am wondering which side my mom is on. She has already apologized to me for having me circumcised at birth.
