[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has Fairfax made any moves to roll back math advancement like VMPI wants? [/quote] Loudoun has. Fairfax hasn't (although like most districts in the DMV they've been trying to reduce the number of 6th and 7th graders taking Algebra I [b]since too many are pushed too early and are unprepared in later years[/b]).[/quote] Evidence for this? People keep pushing the idea that it's a good thing to reduce the number of kids taking Algebra early, but no one ever produces any data showing that the kids who are taking, say, pre-calc in 9th or 10th grade are performing worse than the kids taking it in 11th or 12th.
