===Dearest CTY Overlords of Baltimore and their Minions of Various Statuses:===

Please do not ban our lying on the grass.  It provides students with what is perhaps the most relaxed climate for social interaction and building friendships.  They kindle strong friendships that last even after session ends, which is very important to many of the students, who are often socially isolated outside of CTY -- before they attend.  I implore you to maintain CTY as a place not only of academic education, but of life education and social development.  Students have never been known to do anything inappropriate while lying on the grass with heads on friends' stomachs -- I think you will agree that movement is quite restricted in such a position.  If nomenclature becomes an issue, I, and I'm sure, the CTY populace, will happily work to oust any problematic words from our traditional CTY vocabulary on this site and in as many sessions and sites as we have the influence to do so.

Charlie McGeorge, operator of PCTYD, came up with the idea of collecting anything that CTYers write or record during CTY.  In other words, if you journal or write anything or sketch anything while at CTY, please keep it.  It'd be great if you could do so and then post things on your Userpages here at RealCTY.  Charlie also wants to collect some of the stuff for use in his CTY magazine called "Forevermore."  It's still in its early stages, and it doesn't quite look fantastic yet, but if you would allow him to use your accounts, please make note of it wherever you post said accounts on RealCTY (again, Userpages are good), or email them to him (check PCTYD for his email).

To CTY, the closest to heaven that I'll ever be, and I don't want to go home right now.

Realcty logo 20060831.png
 Hello, all. I have a special request for all of you—to read and, if possible, take action on my June 20, 2012 open letter regarding the program's growing restrictions on student expression. Much thanks; I really do appreciate your time. —Max Wang, site administrator, RealCTY

Welcome

  • Find and advertise reunions, and plan with friends for next session.
  • Play in the Sandbox.
  • 72633455064916235913983 (This was the original content of Prune me, move me, change me, share me. It does not appear to hold meaning.)
  • Read this open letter to the CTY community.
  • Maybe if we write Center for Talented Youth on the Main Page, Google will notice us in a search of said words!
