[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is amazing how much Republicans really hate Blacks and Hispanics.  Just despise them to the core of their being.[/quote]

No they just don’t pander to a particular group for political gain. [/quote]

LOL. That’s hilarious.

“CRT” 
“parents can ban books” 
“advanced math will be banned”

Loudoun County math staff 'to promote equity I think it is important to eliminate tracking'.
For now they have eliminated algebra 1 for 6th graders.  Stone Hill used to have about 15 6th graders taking algebra.  This year, Rosa Lee Carter is putting just two 5th graders next year into PREALGEBRA.[/quote]

That’s not “banning advanced math” if kids are still taking math 2-3 grade levels ahead.  :roll:

Sounds like they are raising the bar by increasing the threshold of who takes those classes.

Now THAT would be a good idea. TJ kids have proven for over a decade now that artificially advancing students in math can have catastrophic results. There are very few who are genuinely prepared for Pre-Calc or above at the start of 9th grade - but too many parents want their student to look like those students, so the go to whatever expense is necessary to push their child too far. [b]This is the best argument in favor of limiting the impact of math advancement in the TJ admissions process - children should be advanced according to their ability, not their parents' aspirations[/b].[/quote]

That is an excellent idea.
