[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents should be pushing the school board and administrators on this.
Loudoun implemented VMPI early, eliminated 6th grade algebra, and had staff that wanted to eliminate 6th grade prealgebra.
Nevertheless, with parental pressure, 6th grade algebra was reinstated for 2022-2023.

Fairfax has I think Tina Mazzacane handling math curriculum, and she is on record wanting to eliminate different math tracks.
She instead wants to settle on algebra in 8th grade is advanced, so they are actually making math class tougher by putting everyone in this class.[/quote]
Yep I think E3 will look to remove a path to 7th grade algebra while all the other efforts push to bring everyone to 8th grade Algebra. I just dont see how the equity police will stop there. AAP will be next. [/quote]

More BS and speculation from the "anti-equity" people.

Do you think it is equitable to have three different Algebra entry points (7,8,9) that results in varying Math outcomes for HS students?[/quote]

I think it's fine for school districts to accelerate kids as they deem necessary. Alg 1 in 7,8,9 is reasonable for the DC area. I prefer clustering and extensions over tracking.

But is it equitable for school districts to acceleerate kids in that 7,8,9 model?[/quote]
