[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]This is classic MAGA tactics. They try to take credit for things the Dems did. Like the law that was sponsored by a DEM.

All on a thread that tries to bash Duran. [b]They now say they are happy about something Duran did while lying and saying it was forced by the state law. When it wasn't. Read the actual law. Don't believe their lies.[/b] [/quote]

The notes from the Jan 20, 2025 Math Advisory Committee explicitly say that Math 6 Advanced was recommended in response to the new law. It’s in the very first yellow highlighted section. APS was not going to offer this class without the new law.

Read the law. The law does not require it. The math advisory committee is just a bunch of APE parents now. Hardly experts. [/quote]

Why are you such a troll? Here’s the discussion from the linked document. It very clearly lays out the requirements in the law and why a new course was created between math 6 and pre-algebra.

“ HB 2686 became state law this spring.1 It requires school districts to enroll all students
who score in the “top 25% in VA” on the 5th grade SOL into an advanced course in 6th grade.
MAC estimates, based on APS’s past SOL scores, that this will result in about 50% of APS’s 6th
graders being placed into an advanced course.
Currently APS offers two courses: Math 6 and 6th grade Prealgebra. Enrollment
recently has been split roughly 85% for Math 6 and 15% for Prealgebra. MAC does not believe
that the extra 35% of student that would be required by state law to be placed into an advanced
course would be successful in 6th grade Prealgebra. This provides APS with 3 options: (1)
Place the 35% of students into a course where they will struggle, (2) water down the course so
that the 35% can be successful but then the 15% are deprived of the course for their level and
neither set of students would be prepared to take Algebra 1 in 7th grade, or (3) create a third
course more suited to this 35% group of students. MAC strongly recommends this 3rd
option.”[/quote]

That’s the advisory committee’s report. That leaves out some important parts of the law. It’s a false narrative. Why are you pushing it instead of looking to the actual law? I guess you want to push this narrative too. It’s obvious who you are. [/quote]
You're accusing an APS committee of creating a false narrative that doesn't benefit APS?  That makes no sense.  If you were paying attention, you'd understand that the committee summary is entirely accurate.[/quote]

Read the law and compare it to the committee summary. Either the committee is incompetent or pushing a false narrative. You’re on the committee obviously. [/quote] The law and the committee summary aren't going to be the same. The committee summary is about implementing the law, whereas the law is the law. No one expects them to be identical. That's not how it works[/quote]

The report left out a crucial part for implementing. I think intentionally.[/quote]
The Virginia Department of Education has set implementation guidelines that aren't in the law.  That's how legislation and implementation works.

VDOE tracks the law but the math report doesn't track either one. YOu are a MAGA APE pushing your lies. Anyone who wants the real truth should look to the law or VDOE. [/quote]

Are you running a false flag operation? Your resistance to reality is making APE look better just because you hate them. [/quote]

You are so APE. [/quote]
