[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm shocked and even in past years more than half of students are passing but not proficient in their Algebra 2 SOLs.

I'd say that means they are advancing too quickly.  Yet the effect seems the same regardless of grade level of course. So it seems there are substantial cohorts of students advancing 2 years ahead when 1 was enough, and advancing 3 years ahead when 2 was enough.
Or TJ has up to half it's population being kids who "get" math quite but aren't great at understanding it.

Anyway, these 9th graders in Geometry, while older than previous  geometry students, are doing just as well (slightly better even) as those students who advanced more quickly [/quote]
This is not true. Even last year, 9th grade Alg II students scored 20% greater pass advanced rates than the 10th grade geometry students. Advanced students prior to Covid were scoring 90% pass advanced rates in 9th grade Algebra II, which is really impressive. And post-covid still close to 60% Pass advanced for 9th grade Algebra II students.

These new students are great students in their own right just different than previous admitted students. Admissions doesn’t even know the math level. Having nearly 100 geometry students in 9th speaks to the [b]great work in equity the new process has achieved[/b]. And comparing them to the previous classes does them a disservice. It’s not about scores or grades, but experience.[/quote]
is this what they taught you in the DEI class? post bunch of lies?[/quote]
