[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They said they were finding gaps appear down the road, even showing up in high school, for students who jump and skip a year of content (which all advanced math kids do at some point), and this new curriculum, which will eventually extend all the way down to Kindergarten (NOT up to replace the current advanced math path), is supposed to fill in those gaps so that every student with the ability is ready for the jump to advanced math. [/quote] This means they are planning on eliminating the math advancement in later grades as well, as they don't want students jumping a year ahead. They just don't want to say it now and upset too many people. Likely they will try to reduce the advancement by hiding the availability of advancement, pushing up SOL requirements, then when numbers have dropped, saying there isn't enough interest. Just see the VMPI video where they argue calculus in high school is overrated.[/quote]
