Algebra was gone. “The VMPI initiative imagines math instruction for students that [b]integrates existing
 math content into blended courses for students typically in grades 8-10.[/b]
● The [b]content[/b] from Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 is not being eliminated by VMPI, but rather the [b]content of these courses will be blended into a seamless progression of connected learning.[/b] This encourages students to connect mathematical concepts and develop a much deeper and more relevant understanding of each concept within its context and relevance.

Under VMPI, you would no longer see a class called Algebra (among others).

The content was blended in and classes were blended together. No choices were offered until late high school. [/quote]

So if all students were taking the blended class in 8th grade (at the latest), then all students were starting algebra 1 in 8th (at the latest) - which is actually [u]earlier[/u] the current baseline path, which is algebra 1 in 9th.

When did VDOE tell parents that "no choices were offered until late HS"? And that was "essentially happening"?
