[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS had an advanced math class already, pre-algebra.  The law required kids scouting in the top 25% across the state to be in an advanced math class. APS could have pushed all those kids into pre-algebra, or mastered down that class to accommodate more kids.  Instead. APS offered Math 6 Advanced so kids had more options. Pre-algebra in 6th is a tough course. Not all parents wanted that much for their kids. Arguably, not all kids were ready for that.

Saying the law is the only reason APS offers any advance math is wrong because APS offered pre-algebra previously.  APS wasn’t required to add Math 6 advanced. They offered it to provide more differentiation.[/quote]
No one is saying it’s the only reason they offer any advanced math class. People are saying it’s the reason they offer something in between pre-algebra (which is three years of middle school math in one year) and math 6. This was added in direct response to the law.[/quote]

So much backtracking now that you got presented with facts.

Again the new law does not require this new class. Plenty of people right here said it did. The new law does require mandatory enrollment for high scoring students in existing advanced classes but only subject to availability. This new class wS a decision by APS. I think it was a good one. Give credit where it belongs which is APS not the stats and certainly not Youngkin as was wrongly claimed. This is what the maga apes do, don’t ever believe them!!![/quote]

It's very clear APS had no intention of providing a more rigorous class to the kids who are now taking Math 6 Advanced without this law. APS gets zero credit for being forced into it. The class still doesn't even exist on the APS website as an option for course progression: https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/sites/57/2025/01/APS-Secondary-Math-Progressions.pdf[/quote]
