Original story: On Your Mind
Summary: Sam’s always a good girl. Except when she isn’t.

Part One
Part Two

What would they have called the equivalent of "Talented And Gifted" programs in the US in the late 1970's? You know, the special classes for the smart kids, particularly in math and science? How young would they be available, and what would have been the ratio of girls to boys? I know by the late 1990's, the TAG program (at least in Oregon) was a joke and did pretty much nothing in a lot of schools, mine included, but my Dad was in a program in the 1960's that started when he was in fourth or fifth grade and taught a lot of advanced stuff--math, geology, astronomy, etc.

Bottom line, I want to know what kind of programs would have been available to Sam Carter as a girl, assuming she was born in 1965. As an Air Force brat, she probably moved around a lot. How would that have affected her schooling? I'm assuming she would have gone to a regular school off-base even if she lived on-base some times.
