[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol, I love this.  The liberal elites are getting a taste of their own medicine.  I guess this is too progressive for them.  Commence the exodus of the public school system.[/quote]

Exodus because...they might switch up the flow of algebra/geometry content in a few years?

Ok, snowflake. [/quote]

No, because they are implementing it later.  Algebra in 7th grade is very common in Loudoun/Fairfax with algebra 2/trig in 9th.  Some kids are a year advanced beyond that.
Now these 7th grade algebra kids will be getting this dumbed-down blended course, effectively algebra in late 8th-9th.
The slightly advanced kids who take algebra in 8th would also be held back, and are very unlikely to be eligible for any advancement counties might provide.[/quote]

Kids can still take those concepts in 7th. No one is being held back. Stop spreading misinformation.

Perhaps in Fairfax, but in Loudoun kids who would have been taking algebra in 6th grade will now not be taking it until 7th grade.  This is a reason for them to exodus separate from the claim of algebra/geometry content flow has been switched up.
This is already implemented, effecting next year's sixth graders.  No one will be taking algebra in 6th grade for the first time in many years, when typically there are 50-100 who do so.[/quote]

That is a Loundon decision, not VDOE/VMPI.
