When I was growing up, my school would have all the students go to a separate building once a week for a half hour for some kind of weird program.We would sit down and use McDonald’s play sets like the one pictured here, and once a week for a half hour we would get a partner and play out customer and employee drive through interactions. We would exchange construction paper to mimic money.Our teach would walk around with a clip board and take notes and correct us sometimes if we made mistakes. Occasionally real McDonald’s employees would come and work with us and give us constructive criticism. If we did well they would give us vouchers for free McDonald’s.Our school did this for like two years. There was one kid who was really good and just picked it up super fast. After talking with some of the McDonald’s employees he left and we never saw him again.Years later when I got into college I asked some of the students and friend I made there if they ever experienced this and they all said no. What the fuck was the point of that program? Why did they make us do that?
>GATE: McDonald's editionalso that kid probably got thrown into the pink slime vat
This never happened.
did this guy also talk to you alone?

>>543197276Great schizo threads bro
Fucking hell, it still exists. >Washington State law requires that all school districts identify their "most highly capable" students and provide a continuum of services to those students in kindergarten through 12th grade.https://www.wwps.org/programs/highly-capable-explorers
Memes aside, this is a very prestigious institution
>>543197276Was this before or after penis inspection day?
>Does not need to watch the teacher to hear what is being said; can process more than one task at a time.>Is very intense. Gets totally absorbed in activities and thoughts; may be reluctant to move from one subject area to another; may insist on mastering one thing before starting another. May experience periods of such fierce concentration that he is literally unaware of what is going on around him.>Prefers complex and challenging tasks to “basic” or “busy” work. May change simple tasks or directions to more complex ones to keep interested.
Just some examples of some of the play sets we used. Does anyone here have any stories like this? Or even theories behind what the point was? Or why that guy got picked to leave and none of us saw him at school again?
>>543197276You got raped at school. The kid that never came back was you. The whole mcdonalds thing was how your brain coped with it.Alternatively your school had some sort of GATE program, but instead of looking for psychics they were just looking for mcdonalds employees. Was this an inner city black school?

>>543197423bro i literally had penis inspection day in school. they stole your foreskin and they looked under mine. i think no one really cared because everyone in charge was female so they all considered genital inspection normal. fucked up.
>>543197276it's called spec ed anon.
>>543197343>>uhm do you not want the patty?That is exactly the question any reasonable human with more than two brain cells would ask to a request like that.
>>543197276It's called special ed, that's also why you always boarded the short bus mate.Still a great schizo thread.
