Does anyone who was a kid in the late 70's early 80's recall having strange tests performed on them at school?

Yes... I was in the “gifted, talented and creative program” during grades like 3-6 as I remember. We went to a special room once or twice a week while the other kids did gym or something. It’s all very foggy but I remember it was myself and one other kid named crystal. The strange thing is that I really don’t remember too much of what we did, but I specifically remember one instance where the instructor read us a letter from pres bush about denuclearization. This was 90 or 91 so right at the end of the Cold War. I remember this specifically because in the letter it said that some weapons had been “terminated” and crystal made a comment like “aww that is sad” in reaction to the word and the instructor seemed annoyed by this.
I’ve poked around and tried to find out more about this in recent years but haven’t found much info. There has been a few posts on glp about it though.
There was one other instance when I was younger, probably like grade 1 or 2 where I distinctly remember being taken to a computer lab type thing where myself and a bunch of other kids played games and did tests on the old Mac computers. I asked my mom about it and she doesn’t remember that one but of course remembers that I was in the gtc program, as do my 2 childhood friends from the time that I still talk to.
I would love to know more about this program and what happened here, what was the purpose, etc. so if there is any info here in glp please share.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75094785 yep this is the real GT program, i remember the computer learning thing we did too, it was on very old mac software that ran on 5.25" floppies, and i also remember a "mock election" we did the year that the crazy eccentric billionare Ross Perot ranf or office, i think that was probably 92
