[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a really balanced piece on this that came from not-northern-Virginia and therefore recieved little attention here:
https://www.pilotonline.com/news/education/vp-nw-virginia-advanced-math-classes-20210427-lodz7o7gqzgqpidmgzpqt4y6pq-story.html

However it's drawn attention enough to be linked in a piece in The Atlantic:
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/06/left-targets-testing-gifted-programs/619315/

I really think it was a mistake to delete the original thread based on speculation, same as it might have been a mistake to declare that tracking was definitely going away based on speculation. The fact remains that we really don't know (as The Pilot mentioned).[/quote]

The VA Beach woman seems....out of touch with reality: 
[i]"OMG - they had a link on their website! Socialism!"[/i] LOL.

Reality:  
[b]"But nothing will change any time soon, Lane said. The pathways group is still seeking feedback on its ideas, and any changes to the standards require the state Board of Education to seek public comment first.

I mean, VMPI is linked to the SOL changes that don't go into effect for years. That's all Lane means by that.[/quote]

In response, school districts including LCPS have removed acceleration starting 2021-2022, because they weren't sure what classes would be available when VMPI is done with their changes.  Also, the VMPI staff was persuading them about the need for equity and to hold back acceleration.[/quote]

Guess they jumped the gun, huh? Wonder who got fired over that error.

But did they? Or is VDOE gaslighting everyone who was paying attention?[/quote]

[i]Talking[/i] about possible changes isn't the same thing as actually [i]proposing[/i] changes and it certainly isn't [i]implementing[/i] changes.

Someone at LCPS fcked up. Or they are trying to shift blame.

Read the article from Martinsville, VA I posted. It clearly indicates that students there in 6th were going to have options eliminated in 7th grade, that this was because of VMPI and done because of discussions with VDOE.[/quote]

"Because of VMPI" doesn't make sense since VMPI hasn't actually proposed anything yet. Do you completely change your curriculum because of a discussion about possible changes? They majorly jumped the gun or used VMPI as a scapegoat.

You change when your boss tells you to get ready for a new way of doing things.  There's nothing unusual about that.[/quote]

"We might be making some changes - won't know for another year or two - but go ahead and fck around with your curriculum for giggles"
