>>18065650Not true. I went to school in VA in the 90s and GATE most definitely existed. They did all sorts of weird shit. They stuck my knuckles with a needle that looked like a little corn cob. Gave me card tests, vision tests, I took word association tests alone in a big auditorium, writings tests, math tests. This went on for years and I don't remember any other kids being around, just a little room and lots of tests.
