Gifted and Talented Education

This page documents my experience participating in a Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program in elementary school, specifically 5th grade at Guadalupe (frequent base visits).

Included are some pictures and records I still possess.

It is not intended as a comprehensive history of GATE programs nationwide, nor does it attempt to explain every theory or claim surrounding them. It is simply my firsthand account, supported where possible by documentation.
