[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid in a different state, I don’t think parents were involved. Kids were flagged gifted by the school. Kids were placed in the advanced class, regular class or remedial class in elementary. You knew which class you were in. Then in middle school, we got to pick our classes. You could pick honors or not honors and were placed in a math class based on a test.[/quote]

The code of Virginia states:

[quote]C. These uniform procedures shall permit referrals from parents or legal guardians, teachers, professionals, students, peers, self, or others. Such referrals shall be accepted for kindergarten through twelfth-grade students.[/quote]
(https://law.lis.virginia.gov/admincode/title8/agency20/chapter40/section40/)[/quote]

They may accept parent referrals but this doesn't mean they will accept parent information.

It looks like they want to minimize parent involvement under the pretext of (privileged) parents introducing bias but really they would like to have full control over who is admitted in order to further their DEI agenda.

If you read the recommendations in the report that was linked earlier this is exactly how it comes across and makes me very concerned. [/quote]
