>>17513625I was in a gifted program, and nothing about it was traumatic or even disconcerting.
I left the program after a few years because I was afraid I couldn't handle the workload of school.
My teacher was Jewish, though.
I don't think she ever brought up - I only know because of her surname.
This is in a rural area with basically no Jews at all.
I happen to have a memory of bringing up the idea of telepathy once and she was not amused, as one would expect from the average atheist nihilist jew who operates in a cold mechanical universe.
