I read this one because people said it was helpful. First few sentences in and they are spouting lies. I just don't trust anything that comes to out this group. Also, they may want to keep their raging Bs from pushing their newsletters. Really hurts credibility to have people like that encouraging people to sign up. |
Seriously think you are letting your hatred of APE and people on DCUM who mentioned that one article defending one idea of VMPI cloud your judgement here. Nothing in the VDOE math part of the APE newsletter implies that VDOE is trying to keep VMPI alive. Nothing. |
What are the lies? I read it and see that the head of the MAC commented on the post in AEM seemingly agreeing with the analysis. |
Yes, they didn't imply that. They fundamentally misrepresented VMPI. They are either lying or completely clueless. Either way, they have demonstrated that they are incapable to meaningful analysis. |
So they...agreed with WaPo's Jay Matthew's assessment of VMPI round one, pre-April 2021? |
Please explain which part is incorrect? Just saying this is “lies” is unhelpful. |
Lol. The irony of claiming no meaningful analysis while refusing to specify the alleged lies. |
Apparently the PP disliked the part where APE said "The Northam VDOE had intended to use the 2023 SOL revision to implement the Virginia Math Pathways Initiative (VMPI), which would have ended Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II and replaced them with blended math courses that all students in Grades 8-10 would take." That's something that VMPI itself actually said.... |
Given that it's now February 2022 it's just wrong. The question is whether it was intentional or are they just ignorant/sloppy. Arlington tends to attract people who are overly confident in their "analysis" - even when they miss some very basic facts. They are still full of it and have raging a-hole pushing their signup. Gross. |
Not accurate. |
WHAT PART IS WRONG? I find the Arlington Parents for Education facebook group to be much more useful than the AEM group. I don't agree with certain posters, but there are actual productive conversations there. |
But...VDOE uploaded this when they were trying to backtrack on the part about acceleration. They literally DID say it.

Yes, they were blending AGA. They weren't requiring students to take them in 8-10. It's misleading and pushes the RWNJ false narrative around advanced math. Still. In Feb 2022. |
How do you know if it's "productive" if it's built on lies/misinformation/inaccuracies? |
+1 Classic cognitive dissonance. Call something lies, attack the messenger, but don't provide any facts that dispute what you are challenging. |
