I tested as a gifted kid but our school only had speds and didn't know what to do so they just put me in with the speds
!r-slurs how did you get your start?

I was one of like, three kids that could do 2nd grade math at a 2nd grade level, so I somehow ended up in the gifted program by default.
It was butt.
School was a far greater distance than the last one, so no familiar faces to anchor to.
The other kids were WAY smarter than me and outperformed me because their parents actually went to school and had good jobs and were present in their lives.
Teacher was an unironic man-hating spinster who scrutinized everything the boys did, and the girls were perfect angels.
Homework packets 4 nights a week consisting of multiple pages of worksheets.
No recess. Ever. (We had computer lab though, which I attribute to my profound autism)
I have it brain-wormed into me that we were forced to watch some Spanish tutoring program called Saludos? I think? And the theme song has been buried in my central subconscious ever since. I can't even speak Spanish.
They asked at the end of the school year if I wanted to go back to my old school and I leapt at the chance. I embrace my averageness.

Unironically probably the biggest issue with the state of education.
Of course the third grade teacher was still at the school and seemed to suffer no consequences whatsoever despite clearly having a great deal of mental instability.

I think it was my 3rd grade teacher, and my extremely racist 9th grade English teacher, that played the biggest role in molding me to hate the progressive HR class that runs the country currently.
Most of the other teachers were either OK, or male.

I'm a woman and weirdly when I was in 4th grade a female teacher became obsessed with a conspiracy that my mom was writing my creative writing assignments for me and it cauased tons of drama. It ended when she had me stay in during lunch to rewrite a paper.

Relatable
I was the only white kid in my elementary school
The male teachers and old lady teachers all liked me and I got As in their classes. The younger women teachers singled me out and treated me in obviously unfair ways. I got mostly Cs from them. I didn't know about it at the time, but they were kids in 1968. Those teachers were the original SJW woke tumbler kids.

I had that teacher lmao. Thankfully I grew up into a gigatwink by 16 and virtually all women started treating me well despite my lack of interest in gussy, so she ended up letting me out early because I asked if I could go when she held all the boys back one day. Being an neurodivergent I didn't realise this would make the rest of the lads resent me massively though, so it really tanked my ability to make friends.

The man hater at my school had 2 doors in her room so when she tried holding the boys back (always to b-word and moan that someone, possibly related to the school, had maybe been seen doing something somewhere and how this meant we were all degens throwing our lives away) they'd leave anyway. Couldn't body block both doors.

I have a vivid memory of her tearing up one of my worksheets in front of the whole class. She will be in my eventual manifesto.

You were truly born to rule over the r-slurs

I was really small as a kid so when they put me in the r-slur room with the rest of them for r-slur hour once a week the guy who would scream and couldn't speak (still graduated tho!) would get mad at me for talking too much and start throwing shit at me and I'd have to run around like some looney tunes nonsense yelling like a little b-word until the fat sped assistant would come back in and give him a treat to make him calm down

Are you sure you tested as "gifted" and not "special"?

the other option was acceleration by ~2 years but my parents were against it because i was a tiny complete fricking psycho who bit people who looked at me wrong
tbh i think that might have had something to do with me going to the sped room but its hard to say

And they still bothered to test you?

in primary school my teacher distracted me from being a psycho by letting me run a few years ahead in math semi-informally by just throwing new textbooks at me whenever I got bored so there was precedent for 'maybe he's smart and r-slurred'

You still don't understand..... You weren't sent to the sped room, you were the sped room.
