Why is a large portion of Jow Forums posters also people who were selected for & participated in the GATE program? Why were they so determined to take a small portion of kids away from the whole?
Was it really what it seemed?
It ran from about 1989 to 1998 or so
Several other anons from other countries report having a similar program.
Anons describe they do not remember much beyond going outside to a separate building or trailer, windows always covered with shades, making the room dimly lit.
Usually anons report repeated hearing tests & such. Other bizarre things.

Strange GATE program
Niggers gave me a lobotomy. My sister told me i changed forever since that day
Im like 138 IQ now
As the chimp types Shakespeare, so too does the Nord shitpost and get digits
GATE was a containment program for kids with ADHD or on the autism spectrum, who did not belong in special ed with actual disabled retards.
Public schools recognized the need to separate these type of kids (I was one of them) from other children and give them a safer environment to catch up or learn, or fuck around and feel like they weren't an alien creature by interacting with other kids that were weird like them.
We were studied because at the time autism wasn't understood very well (still isnt), and governments were trying to figure out if we were worth investing in or writing off to big pharma (they chose big pharma).
GATE was simply a special needs program with a politically correct name, that they got 'buy in' from parents from through making them believe their children were special in a good way. Eventually semi-wealthy mothers started demanding that their normie npc spawn be admitted to the program as well, despite not being 'gifted' or 'talented' (adhd / autism) in any way.
These kids entered the program, and the results predictably dumpstered. GATE was blended into the Magnet school program (modern version of semi-autistic containment), which allowed the state to also admit normie spawn of semi wealthy paranoid parents who for some reason didn't ship their babies off to private schools.
I don't believe it was a conspiracy, just a bungled effort, like so much else in the public school system. Eventually it was ruined by women with ideas (like everything in the school system). It would have been fantastically successful if it was gender segregated and male teachers were provided, since most "autistic" boys were not actually developmentally different, but rather lacking a male role model of any type.
I was recruited and made several hit movies
work will set you free
I was in gate. they take 1 group of kids and keep them together for years. separated from other "normal" kids. different lunch, recess, very little interaction with most of the other school.
I remember the weird hearing tests and shit as well. I actually remember taking the test that got me into gate. was in a room with another kid with glasses. lady came in and gave us this really weird test. I remember it having lots of shapes and strange questions. after the test I asked when I would know how I did, she told me it goes into my file and basically I'll never know.
also all the list of similarities like having blue eyes, etc etc ring true with a lot of people in gate. I dont have the list but last I saw it had like 24 things on it and most people in gate identified with a majority of the list
I was in GATE. 1989-92
an IQ type test was given to all kids at the time
it was not called such, but was, basically
kids who scored very high were placed in the program
this is what is said officially anyway
so just having "autism" or "ADHD" was not enough
holy fuck, what a blast from the past. haven't seen this shit in a while.
777 is Alestair Crowley trips.
just dropping this in here
I was in GATE and recently tried to look some of my old classmates up and literally none of them have an internet footprint.
I was in GATE and I despise social media. It is cancer. I am probably not alone in thinking this.
>GATE was a containment program for kids with ADHD or on the autism spectrum
bullshit. my son was in it and he was far from adhd, autism, asbergers or any other mental impairment.
not this GATE psyop meme again
I had an opportunity to join something called The Gifted Program, but my father felt that doing so was a vile assault on his belief in equality. So I missed out.
do you have Rh- blood?
>I was in GATE and recently tried to look some of my old classmates up and literally none of them have an internet footprint.
Do you?
If you read my comment again, you will see where I mention people in your position.
>Bakerolls zwiebel
Let me guess you were talking with Hanz? I thought the mods permabanned Berlin because of him so he'd stop pestering Jow Forums
Oh, they made people pay for it. Mid 30's here, but they were willing to give me 100$s off the test, as I was poor. Friend said his test was 175$. He got sent back to normal classes after a few years. Did meet one kid who skipped 2 grades and would leave school for weeks at a time to go to" science camps". I've heard different stories depending on the locale, but it seemed to be by invite at the start of the year depending last years end of year tests. And people were made to pay for this test.
This, also I can read minds
Your wife's son was probably the normie allowed in to placate your wife.
I think it was done to keep kids who score well on tests away from the other kids so the class average looks better
So basically most of /pol is INTP people that were put into GATE as children. I knew there was a reason this place felt like home
Meaning that GATE is practically losers trying to cling on something that justifies their loserdom by claiming they were experiment on or were special?
I guess these people just need to be loved so they don't end up in these mental traps otherwise their excuses to not get better will just go in cycles until their pathetic deaths.
>be gifted
>able to eat 12 frozen pizzas daily
I was in GATE to, in San Diego. It was a very strange program, kind of backfired on me. Thought I was to smart after receiving all that recognition and stopped trying to excel, ended getting Fs the following year after being accepted, ended up dropping out and doing school like how my dad did, getting a GED
I was in a program called "Gifted"
i don't know if they're the same thing. i was a little later so it may have changed. I was born in 92 and was placed in Gifted classes in 98
Hey can I suggest something actually productive? Go look up your GATE teachers and sue them. Obviously you were autistic or vulnerable and their meddling made you fail. Come on. Get mean.
I was tested for that in elementary school without even knowing what it really was and wasn't accepted, yet I was much smarter (and more talented) than the kids who were in it. They seemed like they were just the straight-A students. Meanwhile, I'm basically a one man production team, making movies, making music, etc. Those GT kids grew up to be total normies.
How high was you're IQ prior to the labotomy?
>getting a GED
So you realized public school was pointless and skipped it? Congrats, you aren't retarded. I also got my GED at 15, after almost failing out of highschool.
I’m part of the ISTJ weirdness.
That's not really something to be proud of. "Special" and "Gifted" tends to gravitate more towards uh...
GATE required a score of 1 standard deviation above average on an IQ test. It wasn't for retards - it was to foster creativity in students with potential.
I'm still in contact with my GATE teacher from nearly thirty years ago - she even went to my wedding. It wasn't some nefarious mkultra shit.
Low IQ untermensch - Those tests were IQ and comprehension tests. If you failed it means you are sub 120 IQ. Loser.
Gifted Program here.
151
All I remember is the Logic Puzzles, Tangrams, and Oddesy of the Mind Comps.
I was in for 8 years. When it started in 2nd grade there were only 5 boys. Chicks didnt start getting in until 5th grade or so.
google it, moron...
yeah, INTP and a veteran of several "gifted" programs through the 70's and 80's
don't be mean man
be more gentle
did you guys do the "math olympiads"?
shhh just sit down and don't wreck anything. Ok? I'll give you a teddy bear or a car if you're a good boy
That was an IQ test, stupid. You can access the results now if you're over 18. Contact the school district. Stupid.
naw
I dont memba that.
Don't you think its a little bit weird to be jealous and scornful of people who were forced to participate in this weird shit by their parents and teachers?
>It wasn't for retards
I didn't say it was.
> It wasn't some nefarious mkultra shit.
I didn't say I was.
I also keep in touch with one of my teachers from back then, even though she is a hyper feminist, demented multi culti communist weirdo.
I did, then I got banned for cheating since I memorized banks of answers to possible questions and they didn't believe I memorized it. I got into a lot of trouble.
Great. Now the dude is probably gonna kill himself when he finds out he's sub 100 IQ
Jerk
My program was called TAG (talented and gifted)
And holy shit, tangrams. That brings me back
im a zoomer and i dont know what this 'GATE' meme is , sounds like taking hard classes in high school basically so you can not be surrounded by retards
Are they trying to make akira real?
hardly.
i had him reading b4 he entered skool. he was bored shitless even later in AP classes.
Not my problem. I used the results of an IQ test I took at around 13 years old to join Mensa.
Why are you asking me?
So, the G&T "IQ test" I took on the spur of the moment in third grade while sitting out in the hallway with a weird lady, the one I blew through because I didn't know or care what it was, outweighs the real IQ test I took with a psychologist years later? How?
Or did you not know about it?
that makes sense.
boosh's nclb had been implemented at the time.
nclb was all about $$$ for the skools.
they did away with public school autism containment, because all kids (zoomers) are autistic now and their autism is managed with digital blocks (first minecraft, now fortnite)
shut the fuck up, boomer
Lol, they made me wait until I was 19 as part of my conditions for dropping out (truancy charge hanging over my head). Did you get emancipated?
I remember it fondly as being an environment more conducive to learning and without niggers
You do realize these programs across the country are actually just a way for schools to get more taxed dollars?
t. Wasn't allowed to join because it would fuck up their budget and because they didn't believe I was smart enough untill I taught myself algebra in alternative.
That's cold man. Then again if you were taking a mensa you probably passed it so it's not illogical behavior on your part.
I remember a hearing test once. I was also asked to tell who ever interviewed me, what came to mind as they showed me different words on a piece of cardboard. I remember one of the words very clearly because it was 'porn''. I was 6. I told them "body language". Kinda creepy Thing to ask a 6 year old. It was Recorded on tape as well. Wtf.
i wasn't forced. every one in the school took the "C.A.T.S." test and i don't know how the selection worked, but i scored in when i was in first grade.
there were only a handful of us in the class, and we only went to the class when our normal class was learning math/science/how to fucking read.
every year, more kids scored in. by second grade there were a dozen kids in the class, and by third grade we had a little squad.
we only went to the "gifted" class when we were learning subject of intelligence. i remember walking back into my normal class, and they would still be learning math that was ridiculously fucking easy for "gifted" kids.
Sorry, Bulgaria. You're just one of the retarded shit posters.
>Did you get emancipated?
No, my parents just sued the school district. I'm not sure what the details were, but I was allowed to take the GED test and then go to community college as soon as I had a learning drivers permit.
Mine was just called GT.
Yeah, tangrams.
t. Sperg who parents lied to him
Frankie Mayonnaise?
I did the hearing test as well, I remember really liking it. But didn’t all kids take that?
>reading
See this is how I know. GATE was focused on math capabilities at first, but my wife's son reads good, that counts too! If he's not doing algebra by the first grade he shouldn't have been in the program. That's how they tested me. I also was able to read but they didn't care about that. Shame the standards were lowered.
It’s not a conspiracy, average people aren’t that smart. I went to public and private schools at times and it’s insane how much worse public actually was, and not in bad areas either.
School is mostly to condition people to be employees, but they don’t want smart kids to become lazy anime posters when they need engineers, researchers, businesspeople and propagandists.
forgot to add. the "gifted" kids were taken from all classes in that grade. so 2-5 from each teachers class.
Did you do wordly wise workbooks too?
Yeah pattern recognition is a big part of the test
You fucktard, it was for students that scored 130 or above. You obviously did not make the cut, NPCbrain
know your blood type?
Tests were the only thing I could do Graduated highschool with a 1.6gpa
Another low-iq semi-normal who can't read.
If anything these threads are lots of fun for triggering the stupids who are upset to this day that other kids got to play with blocks and they didn't.
>School is mostly to condition people to be employees, but they don’t want smart kids to become lazy anime posters when they need engineers, researchers, businesspeople and propagandists.
Bingo. In california they sure laid the shitlib brainwashing on hard to the 'smart' kids. I didn't shake it off till my mid 20's and finally realized I had been lied to about almost everything.
Actually I think this guy is the closest to the truth. After having seen how bungled public school systems are and how greedy the fucking retards that manage them are, I can easily see the GATE program as a way for them to remove outliers from class averages and fuck with test numbers (in order to get more money for their district).
I think the closest thing I had to GATE was a speech therapy class.
Where I was GATE was basically a way for the people who couldn’t afford private school but still had enough to afford to separate their children from normal kids.
Basically rich but not quite rich enough. It wasn’t really for the gifted. Just for some parents willing to pay to feel their kid was. And of course to not make it so obvious they threw in the two poorest kids and a couple regular joe’s or teacher’s kids.
All the kids in that class went absolutely nowhere aside from the hot girls in them that married into more money.
>wordly wise
No, doesn't ring a bell.
We ran those Muzzy cartoon language courses, though.
Dabbled in Algebra, had free access to the library. It was very unstructured.
I took this test when I was about to get out of kindergarten, pretty sure they dont IQ test people who just learned how to read in groups of 2 children per room
I was in GATE since like 5th grade to senior year. We went on a field trip in 8th grade that normal kids couldnt go on. Also in highschool i was the only white kid in my age group in gate (at least the other kids that i would go to sepwrate class were all smart asian kids) not ADD autists
blonde/blue here, gen x, was in gifted & talented...and i no shit once played polybius or something like it in a dark corner of a resort restraunt
Mine was a mashup of 3 different school names. We had a Huge school dist with low population. I had to ride a bus with HS kids for 2 hours just to get there. NOW THAT was the real education for a 6year old.
My lil sis was in to 5 years behind me.
She is 149
I participated in gate programs for 6 years.
I'm also "retired" at 37, and have $3000 a month in passive income after taxes.
Stay mad, nigger.
>I was in GATE and I despise social media
same
>It ran from about 1989 to 1998 or so
I went to a school for gifted in 1969 in San Diego.
Then some of us tested way higher than the rest, and we got put in another class.
They have been doing this for a long time
I had this too in elementary school. Scored a 1580 on the SAT when it was 1600 max. I'm not dumb but I probably am autistic.
My stutter made me laser point fixated on language use. I'm just good at math because you can't be bad at it if you understand the systems.
>son reads good, that counts too!
COUNT GOOD MEAN GOOD BRAIN BALL ME THINK
>Muh work conditioning via skool
>upset to this day that other kids got to play with blocks
Oh no, I think someone was put with the actual special ed. My gt program had Legos.
I have no idea. my brother and sister were in gate as well. can say that even they notice it seems like our family is given special treatment from police government etc.
What years did it operate?
I was in a gifted and talented program as a youth, but I do not know if it was specifically associated with GATE.
I'm originally from the US, but am now studying medicine in Serbia. Back when I was in elementary school in the US we didn't have GATE. What we had was MILE. I don't remember what it was for. All the smart kids were given the opportunity to join if they passed some tests. The classes were more advanced and often challenged us to do outside the box thinking and fun projects. The first time I took the test I had did well, but didn't do good enough on the Creative portion of the test. On the Creative part of the test they would give use a few lines or scribbles and we had to use our imagination to make it into something more creative. The next year I had another opportunity to do the tests again. I passed and made it into the program. It was nice desu. The regular classes had a lot of annoying Basketball Americans. The MILE classes had one or maybe two at most and they were chill and civil. We never had to go in a separate building or trailer. The windows weren't covered and the room wasn't dimly lit. Nothing bizarre ever happened. The lady who taught us was really nice. Overall I enjoyed the experience.
they put me in the autism class
This police are super nice and govt workers will go out of their way for me
>Oh, they made people pay for it.
no one else remembers paying for anythiing
>I have no idea
How TF do you not know your blood type? Or at least a critical part?
