[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VMPI is disastrous for public schools. It’s a very good thing that he is getting rid of it.

To the pp that was lamenting about just buying in a good school district and now going to have to look at private. You should send him an email to thank him. He just saved your good public school.

Why - because blending algebra & geometry and adding data science was really that terrible?

No, because they wanted to put all kids in the same math class until 10th or 11th grade. I hate Youngkin and did not vote for him but I'm glad this is gone. [/quote]

That idea that was loosely floated (not even on infographic) around a year ago was squashed several months ago. Stop spreading disinformation.

It was actually in the initial proposal as was equity as the #1 goal (not math education), then it was quickly walked back and equity was put further down the list of goals. They were waiting until after the election until releasing the final version. It truly was like a "you have to pass it to find out what's in it". Didn't vote for him, but know a lot of Asian people who did solely for this issue.[/quote]

The proposal draft isn’t out yet. Detracking was circulated as an idea very early in the process. Never even made the infographic.

And then it was very clearly eliminated from consideration several months ago.

The fact that you’re still harping on it says more about your motivations than anything else. [b]Why are you still pushing GOP propaganda? [/b]

Because anyone who paid attention early on in the process saw where it was headed.  It was CRT in action and I was very concerned about my MS kids who are very sharp in math being limited in their courses so that they were not too advanced, which makes the school look bad since they are white/Asian kids.  All for paying to help URM kids catch up in math, but don't hold my kid back from their potential.  Public schools should have varying offerings for different situations, not just spend all the resources to catch up all kids to the same level, since my kids will get bored, act out, and really start to hate learning if they are not challenged.[/quote]
