Was your gifted program just a class of high performing students or was it a group of people who scored 130+ on IQ tests?
Mine was the latter and we only had 7 ppl, while for some people (i guess) gifted was for people who did well in classes.
Which was yours?
I remember putting random answers on a test that didn't make any sense to me in the second grade
a few weeks later they told me I was highly gifted
