[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VMPI is disastrous for public schools. It’s a very good thing that he is getting rid of it.

To the pp that was lamenting about just buying in a good school district and now going to have to look at private. You should send him an email to thank him. He just saved your good public school.

Why - because blending algebra & geometry and adding data science was really that terrible?

[/quote]

No, because they wanted to put all kids in the same math class until 10th or 11th grade. I hate Youngkin and did not vote for him but I'm glad this is gone. [/quote]

That idea that was loosely floated (not even on infographic) around a year ago was squashed several months ago. Stop spreading disinformation.

It was actually in the initial proposal as was equity as the #1 goal (not math education), then it was quickly walked back and equity was put further down the list of goals. They were waiting until after the election until releasing the final version. It truly was like a "you have to pass it to find out what's in it". Didn't vote for him, but know a lot of Asian people who did solely for this issue.[/quote]

You have a problem with VDOE making sure that Virginia's math curriculum isn't leaving certain students behind or unprepared to hold a job?[/quote]

Of course not. But let’s not leave them behind by devoting resources to help them catch up and be their very best, not by holding advanced kids back. [/quote]

VMPI would not do that.  This was clarified a long time ago, you just don't want to acknowledge it because it guts your best argument against VMPI.[/quote]

People still “concerned” about advanced math are either not paying attention or have ulterior motives.

LCPS, in the name of VMPI, legitimately and actually eliminated Algebra in 6th grade for ALL students regardless of ability effective this coming school year, and made it much much harder to take it in 7th grade. These are real actual facts, and I know because I have an 8th grader under the old system and a 5th grader under the new. I told people 9 months ago this was happening, was told I was overreacting, and it’s exactly happening the way I said (and the district said) it would.[/quote]

And nothing Youngkin can do will change those decisions independently made by LCPS.

School districts have independently sped up and slowed down acceleration options way before VMPI was formed.

Except LCPS announced this with VMPI and said it was the direct result of.[/quote]

VMPI hasn’t even been finalized or approved yet (it was scheduled to be rolled out in 2023), so there is absolutely no way that it forced any school system to make any curriculum changes.  Someone is lying to you, or you are making this up.[/quote]

I didn’t say they were forced. They obviously wanted to - but  VMPI have them cover and an excuse. It would have take way longer otherwise/[/quote]

Please show where LCPS said VMPI was forcing them to change the math curriculum, because this sounds completely made up.[/quote]
