Message Subject Did you ever go for "tours" in school? I'm not talking field trips

I remember being taken into rooms doing the hearing tests, I remember being taken into a room and being asked questions that I would later hear in life, they were questions to gauge IQ, in my youth I scored exceptionally well, so well in fact, that I recall them being skeptical. They asked me to relate the similarities between a tree and a fly, and I responded with them both having exoskeletons. I recall a few other tests, few years later I recall them bringing me into the library to solve a matrix.

I recall the program name being something akin to "ables" program.
Due to my dodging of actual at home school work, I was removed from the program for having a D in french, yet this matrix test had taken place in high school, and the initial testing was done when I was in the third to fifth grade.



Besides that, the tours I recall are as such:


There was a mobile home that was decked out by the fire dept. They had showcased a bunch of fire hazards and had us children point out as many as we could find. I recall getting a view of the firetruck or the ambulance during this excursion.

We did the simulated fire drill, where we had to navigate evacuating the school on multiple occasions, yet only once did they simulate smoke by having the adults flap blankets above a bunch of children on their knees crawling to an exit.

I recall also one day where there was a truck that had crashed in front of the school, for some reason the entire school shut down and everyone was forced to stand outside.
The truck had started on fire, and yet I was curious as to why the school officials would have everyone stand in closer proximity to the danger, rather than behind the walls.
Perhaps it was the danger of glass.
