So offering calculus, without offering the classes needed to be ready for it, was dumb and basically sabotage. When people pushed back, they reversed course and changed this. I attended online meetings & read about it at the time. We are not making this up, no matter how many times you say it. In one of the online meetings, they clarified that they had changed things so acceleration COULD happen at lower grades. But that was NOT the original plan.
Goal posts shifting...
I was also following and joined the webinars. I provided summaries on DCUM. Again, in the beginning, people were jumping to conclusions based on very little info. VDOE was very early in the process and throwing out ideas. They were several months out from an actual plan. And, at no point did they say that school districts couldn't accelerate or define their own courses to meet the needs of their students, as they were already doing. As I said earlier, VMPI never proposed to eliminate advanced math or acceleration. And, Calculus/IB were *always* included as possible paths.
And, back to the OP.....LCPS did not “eliminate acceleration”. Kids can take accelerate at least two years ahead in math.
OP is pushing lies and random articles about CA schools because the Rs have no actual platform.
