I have these vague recollections of being pulled out of normal class during early elementary school and completing a series of random disconnected tasks with a private instructor such as:
- making butter myself from cream
- creating a geodesic dome out of toothpicks and gumdrops and learning about the life of Richard Buckminster Fuller
- learning about different types of clouds (cumulonimbus, etc.)
- learning long division
- reading and discussing Animal Farm
Most of the time, I was just me alone with the instructor but there was another girl for a few months that joined and then I think she moved addresses and switched schools or something.
What the fuck was the point of this program? Did I just imagine the whole thing? What was the criteria for getting pulled into this program? How widespread was this program across the US? Does it still exist?
