TAG means "Talented And Gifted" it's a program at school for kids who test especially well

Good to know. Never heard that abbreviation before.

And "test especially well" is code for "on the spectrum" before that was a thing. We were counted as abnormal at best, and subhuman in general, but told to our gullible little faces that we were "special", "gifted", "talented", young geniuses-to-be "with so much potential" ...Let's not propagate the bullshit, hmm?

I was one of those kids too, I always suspected neurodivergence but I'm in my 30s now so I'm just ignoring it 😎
