Gate student from the 90's
I remember the program vaguely. The images are very scattered when I try and revisit the memory from them years I was in the program from 2nd to 4th grade. The Oregon Trail era of secondary learning. Not to mentioned i got very far in that game. Lol I do remember leaving my peers for a hour on certain days known as gate days. The class was in the lower level of our school where the gymnasium and cafeteria was located but it was a hallway with three unused class rooms that was selected for the gate teachers and students. It was also a book with a old white man wearing glasses if I see the picture of him I will know because his face is the only thing I remember. I don't remember the other students in there with me nor the teachers who instructed the class. Heck i dont remember the task we learned but i feel as if i use them still to this day. I know it sound strange but i really feel it intensely. I also remember the school advising my mother to allow them to have the school dentist program see me instead of my regular dentist, and the only way I remember that is because my mom said it didn't make sense but the school sold her on the convenience factor of the dentist coming to the school and it will eliminate the travel. For some reason I feel the two incidents the same program. It's so many questions I have. Please has anyone had this experience? I did go to a very poor school. Demographics was predominantly black.
