VMPI was presented in the most misleading and deceitful way possible at the time.  Hope it never comes back, as it was clearly a deeply flawed plan.[/quote]

They were pretty honest about it until the general public found out about it on Fox News. 
The only initial dishonesty was saying it was algebra/geometry/algebra 2 classes being mixed for grades 8-10, when it was more like prealgebra/algebra/geometry.
I've seen in California, good student taking a typical advanced math class, in 9th grade they were teaching parentheses.

I wonder what the math looks like in North Carolina, which has implemented blended courses.[/quote]

It is deceitful to say that VMPI was going to do exactly what CA is doing or that you even know what content was going to be included in each course.

More misinformation. Stop using our kids as pawns. [/quote]

They went over content.  One example was they would remove the part about intersecting chords in a circle. power of a point.  They would remove things they deemed unnecessary and replace with more practical material for problem solving.  Even without VMPI much of this has already happened with the previous revisions and ongoing work.  Algebra 2 and SAT have sections on data analysis and math modeling. removing sections on hyperbolas and ellipses.[/quote]
