They can claim one thing and do entirely another.  [/quote]

They actually can't.  It's a regulatory process subject to specific procedural guidelines that include disclosure requirements.  Enough with the conspiracy theories.[/quote]

Ok. But the Loudpun Asst. Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction wrote me an email (that I still have) saying that accelerated math in MS was not going to be affected by the new pathways. That was a bold faced lie.[/quote]

What about it was a lie?  [/quote]

Algebra 1 in 6th grade is gone, no exceptions. [/quote]

That was a LCPS decision, not VMPI. 
[/quote]

Ok. PP asked what about it was a lie. I answered. [/quote]

DP.  But you never explained how it was a lie.  The email said VMPI wouldn’t change the math options, not that LCPS would never change the options independent of VMPI[/quote]

No, I specifically asked if [b]the county[/b] was eliminating acclerated math options in MS and was given a resounding and exasperated no. Even after I linked to their own program of studies stating otherwise. [/quote]

Sorry. What does this have to do with VMPI? [/quote]

You keep deflecting.  Without evidence, you dismiss people’s actual, real-life experiences with schools eliminating advanced math, by saying over and over:

“Well that’s not VMPI.”

But if you were telling the truth, shouldn’t you have explained:

- what exactly IS VMPI, and

- why do we need it over the current program?

Since you’ve failed to make any case for VMPI, I do not trust you or the VDOE, and I am glad the republicans are halting this murky, unproven, and unexplained overhaul.

VMPI is an initiative by the VA DOE to update the VA math curriculum - they were going to come out with a draft this year (2022) and after a lengthy approval process the finalized changes would go into effect in 2025.

VA school districts take that curriculum defined by VA DOE and come up with their own courses and pathways. Decide what to accelerate and options for advanced tracks.

VA DOE is mandated by law to update the curriculum every 7 years. As part of this process they were researching latest ideas in math education and exploring options to improve the math curriculum. There were a variety of changes they were considering.

There is a lot of info available on the VDOE website:

PPs were confusing changes made by their local school districts with this effort by the VDOE.
