[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If TJ and the VA DOEs curriculum changes are any indication, AAP and gifted ed for the younger kids is not going to look like gifted ed.

Most likely test scores and teacher recommendations will be eliminated, replaced with a lottery that weighs race, ESL and free lunch status over grades, test or achievement,  just like TJ.

Based off all the changes to Virginia's education, I would suspect that the gifted ed requirement will be eliminated very soon by the DOE.

So I would not really worry to much right now.

Things are very fluid right now in education as the leaders in education are very focused on removing meritocracy and punishing and eliminating recognition of excellence and achievement.

Hold tight. It is going to be a wild ride depending on who wins governor.

Terry is the likely winner for Virginia governor.

His educstion plan is posted in full on his website.

His #1 focus for Virginia schools is advancing "equity"

Two specific things that he mentioned that will affect Northern Virginia, especially places like north Arlington that are very liberal, but very white good for thee but not for me kind of voters, is that his main focus will be to "desegregate" schools in Virginia.  His second focus is to achieve this through modifying zoning and housing laws and making developers build low income and multi family housing in high achieving school districts.

On a side note, the board of supervisors is also trying to move in that direction by attempting to change zoning laws in fairfax county to allow customer based businesses and multi families in one home, in single family residential neighborhoods.  I believe that failed after public comment.  All the poeple who voted them in were outrages when they realized what they voted for might actually apply to them too, and not just other people in other places.

If he wins, which he probably will, get ready for a repeat of this year on steroids.

Thankfully the backlash against removing advanced classes with the proposed math curriculum was so strong they reversed their stance on it. I personally have no problem removing advanced classes as long as we also apply these equity focused policies to sports too. I don't care if Chad is clearly a D1 recruit 5 star quarterback. If Josh, Tommy, Sally, and Jane all want to play quarterback also and are willing to show up to each practice, VHSL should require the coach to give them all equal playing time in a game and rotations as starter. It's certainly not Tommy's fault his height is only 5'7". [/quote]
