But something happened to me in that building the dreams have been with my my entire life, just as much as I dream about drowning.

Bet

Not that bad, Tato.

Its where you lost your humanity Spooky

We all lost our humanity in FC.

It was a bunch of hard tests, bizarre image and movie based stuff it was not normal and I remember even being upset there was no recess or normal lunch food.

Children were not meant to be stuffed into boxes and forcibly measured at max brain capacity day after day

Like GATS testing but harder and more abstract

You got MKULTRA'd

We get it.

School is more about socializing and getting trained for the wagecuck life

Kids are meant to be playing in dirt, not doing standardized testing

So you got traumatized by it

No that was GATE stuff that was low-key

Because you got fucked up by the abnormal human behaviour

I have full conscious memory of gate, I don't have it of this classroom building.

I'm tuning out on the psychology talk so I'm gonna try and get some sleep.

Good luck!

I can pretty well remember even my application to gate, the specifics of the puzzles.

Gate is an interesting name

The tricky carousel one that didn't work.

Ours had a cool logo

You just remind me of all the bad things people do to kids in school and it makes me sad Spooky

I at least got the best of gate

My mom told me they dropped the requirements to enter and it wasn't actually "Gifted" level students that were allowed in.

Like, the IQ expectation for entry went from approximately 130 to approximately 110.

The schools were growing increasingly ethnic and the program was still dominantly white and it was causing issues in the PTA.

I'll ask her about it tomorrow she loves when I talk to her about my gate experience.

And @ᚱᛟᛟᛏ it's a million times worse than you remember now in 2019

Complete standardization and nclb era guidelines force kids to keep pace with a state determined average and limits personal growth, exploration, and specialization in favor of meeting funding quotas

And where k-3 used to be 15 students to a class and 4-6 were 25 students

It's now 35-40 students per class straight out.

Which would give each kid about 8 minutes of one on one time with their teachers every day, if the teacher spent every in-class moment *only* doing one-on-ones.

It does produce good workers since it forces children to adapt to information retention and repetition and doesn't reward understanding it nearly as much as it rewards repeating the right thing.

Yeah thats how I grew up.

All my classes were 30+ kids.

I don't even remember how many there were in mines

only roughly 20 in my class sometimes bit more sometimes bit less
