Maybe some dumba$$ in Loudoun misunderstood VMPI.

But VMPI is still early stages (clearly) and hasn't even provided a draft to the revised SOLs yet. Why on earth would LCPS make changes based on something that is still so early stages?

Go start a thread about LCPS - any changes are not coming from VDOE/VMPI.

Because the committee has been discussing these changes for over a year.  They gave a heads up the county staff who you call Maybe some dumba$$ in Loudoun misunderstood VMPI.
They understood very clearly and implemented changes in anticipation.  They didn't know VMPI would reverse course after the backlash once they informed the school board of the changes they implemented five months prior.
Their reason for implementing the changes- they 'knew' there would be new SOLs and new classes 2023, with no tracking.  Current 5th graders they downgraded the advancement by one year, and current 4th graders they downgraded to the new standard path.
In 2025-2026, they would be taking Integrated Math 9, and in 2023-2024 they would be in Essential Concepts 7.  They did not want to put them on a track to geometry because the plan was for integrated math and the geometry class and algebra class might disappear by then.

Yes, if they assumed they "knew" something before anything was ever published about it, then yeah....dumba$$.

They have had access to far more information than you or I, for more than a year.  [/quote]

Nothing published or certainly nothing approved.

There's a whole website for VMPI with presentations, at least 3 webinars. Check their site or the VA DOE youtube channel[/quote]

Yes, and all very high-level / early stages. Nothing published or even "on paper" yet or certainly nothing approved.

Which makes it perfect timing for those with concerns to address it. After stuff is approved it's much harder to get changes.

This is a really ridiculous line of argument, FWIW. It's utterly pedantic.[/quote]

Yes, but maybe not great timing for a school system to make significant changes to their math program?

(re-read above)

Wouldn't you agree?
