[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]All of us at APE know who the 2 primary people are who are spreading misinformation about APE. [/b] They’ve been discussed on this board repeatedly.

We’re glad to see that we just live daily in their heads rent-free, while our 1,000+ members and huge core team go about our work. And thank you for continuing to bring attention to our organization - it just gets us more members.[/quote]

I'm the OP of this thread. You don't know me.

What have I posted that wasn't factual?

Glad you like this thread. I'll continue to update now that APE has just started this more "political" phase.

DP and yes, we all know you, you post the exact same way over on AEM all. the. time.

Apparently a lot of parents share concerns over math changes -  this 50 page thread in this forum regarding the change  - https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/962765.page, and there are plenty other threads in Fairfax county schools and AAP.

Sadly Arlington Co is the land of lowered expectations in schools which I chalk up to the wealth of so many families to simply procure educational resources outside of school. Who can blame them?  It's easier to hire a tutor vs. trying to make a systemic change in the school.  I don't see you doing anything or getting a group of parents together to look at APS.  All you do is post anonymous message here and nasty messages on a fb group.  What does that do?  What does that accomplish?  Nothing except entertainment. If you are that bored, spend some time with your dog

You have posted before regarding the fact that APE members send their kids to private school.  Be glad they still take even a fleeting interest in public schools because so few parents with kids in APS actually do or go to the extent of actually organizing and trying to make a change.  You don't seem to get it.  The more they speak up, the more the opposite side speaks up. And that's a really, really good thing.  Because that's how you get parents to take an interest and take note.  To opposing sides are needed or else everything is rubber stamped and no one looks closely.   [/quote]

You are conflating all sorts of people. No, you don’t know me. I don’t post on AEM. I don’t know where APE parents send their kids - aside from Turner sending kids to private last year.

Should you pay attention to changes to the math curriculum? Of course. APE’s newsletter about VMPI was pushing misinformation and generally was out-of-date/touch. Seemed like it was written by someone just starting to pay attention now and didn’t even know the basic facts.

I’m all for FACTUAL discussions that benefit our kids. Not these political games.

What actually is the misinformation about VMPI that APE pushed? I keep seeing that pushed here without specifics. I ran it by someone very steeped in this issue and they said it was pretty accurate. So now I'm just really confused. I get that the political hack that's always pushing the anit-APE stuff on AEM said it's wrong, but also didn't really specify. [/quote]

It was discussed on this thread back on pages 18-19. Need me to rehash again?

I don't remember what was discussed on AEM - did they actually discuss VMPI? It's been a "concern" for some people in FCPS but I don't remember much conversation on AEM.
