GATE is a program in schools in California, and I think nation-wide, that targets the super-intelligent overachievers. It stands for Gifted And Talented Education. Some people I know have had wonderful experiences with the GATE program: Trips to Sacramento, Class music video projects. My experience included 20 hours a week of extra work doing boring research projects on dead artists. I think it will be an awesome program once they refine it -- it will be a way to keep the attention-deficit-very-intelligent kids from getting dicouraged in school, dropping out, and getting arrested for Grand Theft Auto.
