Gifted Atlanta

i went to the school as a child, there were 7 kids in my class i was in 3rd grade at the time. it was uh snobby but it was enriching, they had a language class in a computer lab which at an elementary age is i think in the right direction. with that being said for the days being as long as 7ish to 4 and being in a dark computer room, we didn’t get recess i remember an odd occasion when we did and it was just a sad empty courtyard in the middle of the complex with i think one tetherball and not a whole lot else. they also didn’t offer school lunches and since my parents worked and didn’t plan on just i needing a lunch since everyone else had school lunches i felt kinda singled out or hardly thought of despite payment for the “lunches” i could get when i didn’t bring a lunchable (it was really sorry but i can’t remember what i ate). to be honest, i try not to think about my time here but since this was the top result on google i suppose i’ll leave a testament to this establishment.

tl;dr: snobby facade of a small town gifted experience that clearly didn’t hold up hence why it’s closed. i went to program challenge as a child in elementary as a form of gifted enrichment and i feel it did wonders for me. chemistry came easy because we were taught the periodic table (as an example) and creativity was allowed to flow. creativity died here and academics came at the cost of your soul it felt like, but that’s just me lol
