If VDOE would say they have made a change in response to community feedback on this point I would feel more confident in it. Without that I worry there is a catch I am missing since the very very recent statements above are the direct opposite of what they have been saying multiple times over the last several months.

Seems like they are still hashing it out.

[i]●[b]  VMPI is in the development stage, and the changes being proposed are under discussion with a wide variety of stakeholders, including the Board of Education. No final decisions have been made at this time.[/b]
● The changes being considered as a part of VMPI will ultimately be decided upon and put into effect with the regularly scheduled 2023 update to the Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning. These standards cover grades K-12 and are updated once every 7 years by the Board of Education. As with all new mathematics standards, there will be many opportunities for public comment and revisions.
● Any changes made to the Mathematics Standards of Learning would be scheduled for classroom level implementation in the 2025-2026 school year.[/i][/quote]
So, perhaps their video presentations were premature, then.  Or they were testing the waters to see how much backlash they'd get.[/quote]

That's exactly why, despite claims on this forum, these haven't been people freaking out prematurely. It's much better to get them to backtrack on the terrible parts of this plan, while preserving the good parts, early on, before it has so much momentum it's set in stone.[/quote]
