[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The basic assumption of the woke behind VMPI is that blacks and Hispanics are not capable of learning of advanced math. Nothing racist in that. :) [/quote] That’s not the assumption at all. Equity programs are trying to get **more** kids in advanced/accelerated classes. [/quote]This is like saying you're reversing global warming by changing the labels on the thermometers. If a student's gen ed class suddenly gets falsely labelled "accelerated", it won't help them. But if a student's accelerated class becomes a gen ed class falsely labelled as "accelerated", it will hurt them. So this helps no one except admin who get to pay themselves on the back for removing disparities (curing global warming).[/quote] No, that wasn’t what was being proposed for VA. Pure fiction. :roll: “Equity” programs are trying to get MORE kids in advanced/accelerated classes. https://e3alliance.org/2022/08/29/call-for-advanced-math-policy-during-texas-88th-legislature/ [i]"E3 Alliance research indicates that [b]taking more advanced math courses[/b] in high school highly correlates with students enrolling in a higher education institution, persisting in their studies, and ultimately completing a postsecondary credential" "we believe the time is now to [b]amplify all students[/b] across the state, scaling these tested and refined practices into state policy during the upcoming Texas 88th Legislative Session." "Our state-level policy priorities include: *[b]Opt-Out Policy for high-performing students[/b] enrolling in accelerated math starting in 6th grade. *[b]Math All Four Years[/b] for high school students."[/i] [img]https://e3alliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/2022-Math-Policy-Brief-Cover-791x1024.png[/img][/quote] California used the same language, but the reality was of course very different. These groups have proven their dishonesty time and time again. Spoiler alert: if it was possible to magically make every middle school class more rigorous with no drawbacks, teachers would have done so already.[/quote]
