I’ve come to the realization that the “gifted program” was just an excuse to get all the ADHD and autistic kids out of the teacher’s hair for a couple of hours. Instead of learning stuff, they made me do pointless shit like make a fake Rosetta stone and bury it, or build a bridge out of popsicle sticks. Complete waste of time.

That’s literally what we did, lol, and advanced math. Plus, I think we got to go on several field trips each year. Those were nice.
But yeah, I came to the same conclusion far too late in life.
