[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad to see they are bringing it back and that the idiocy of not having it did not spread far and wide.   VA was on track to do something similar but thankfully did not.  [/quote]

No, it wasn’t.

Is that not what VMPI was?[/quote]

No it wasn't. That has been debunked a dozen times on this forum. [/quote]
Only by those rewriting history.  I'm a Dem but was shocked and furious when I saw what the VA DOE had planned.  They then walked it back and tried to pretend otherwise, but it was the proposal. I watched the video and read the website.  Gaslighting isn't going to work here.

So glad algebra is back in middle school.  I don't necessarily agree with moving it all the way to 6th grade like FCPS is trying, but 7th or 8th grade algebra is a good option for accelerated students.[/quote]

Agree - the VA DOE definitely had this proposal plus a general plan to "deemphasize calculus" and then tried to cover it up when there was a lot of push back. I wish they would just be honest that they changed their minds - there is nothing wrong with considering something and then realizing it is a bad idea.[/quote]
