[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a quick question: are there actual math educators who teach aspiring engineers, mathematicians and scientist behind this plan? Is there buy in from the technical community? Or is it a bunch of English majors coming up with and advocating for this?[/quote]

Not sure, but one of the women on the webinars used to teach calculus in HS and college. And they are talking to VA colleges...

Sounds like they are aren't going to be taking things away - maybe just reorganizing and adding other math options. It's still early stages so not clear.

I'm sure they've talked to some, but I don't know how broadly they've spoken. In their webinar for teachers, I think it was a majority of those voting said detracking was a bad idea. Additionally, there's at least one prof of engineering from a VA flagship school that's been asking questions during the webinars that indicates he doesn't think the homogenous classrooms/no acceleration is a bad idea, and I can't imagine he's alone in those views.[/quote]
