I got in trouble for a) not using the left handed scissors after explaining that I was ambi and that I could only use right handed scissors and b) not tilting my paper the way it was supposed to be tilted. I had a teacher who believed highly in tilting your paper A CERTAIN WAY as you wrote so the letters tilted A CERTAIN WAY and I hated doing it.
My grandma thought I should be skipped (my cousin bucktowntiger skipped a grade or so) but I was "socially backwards" so no skips for me.
We had Journeys and Encounters as the gifted programs, and Encounters meant that once a week I got to go to ANOTHER campus altogether and do AWESOME THINGS and go on SO MANY FIELD TRIPS. I swear to gods when I sprog out I am going to have to mentally teach my kids all the cool shit I got to do that they don't teach anymore thanks to effing standardized tests.
