[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. :)

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.

[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]

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]

Agree with you completely.  This “equity math” approach failed in California and it failed when tried in MoCo.

The person you are responding to posted the same chart about “E3” or “Equity Cubed” math, which Fairfax County Public Schools are trying to use to eliminate the AAP program.

Placing every child in AAP-level math sounds great, and E3 or “equity cubed” essentially does that.

E3 fits the title of this thread precisely, as it claims to be “equitable access to advanced math.”

However, when every child is placed in AAP-level math through this new E3 program, there is no more AAP.

And accelerated-pace learning under E3?  The general-education kids will not learn at the accelerated pace used in AAP, so the whole class will have to slow down to the level appropriate for the slowest learners. Acceleration will be lost, and the kids who would previously have been in AAP will be bored, and likely lose interest in learning.

Sure - E3 claims to have anticipated advanced learners needing more/faster pace. E3 says they plan for occasional “pull outs” to give advanced learned a little extra work once in a while.

Pull-outs don’t work the way a dedicated AAP class works. Advanced learners absolutely will get far less under E3.

If your school adopts E3, it will be best for your child to switch to private school.[/quote]

What a load of crap.  :lol:

Fiction for an election year.

According to you previously in this thread, the equity plans would have to be stopped by elected officials overruling what the equity folks want to do.[/quote]

That was an extreme hypothetical with other conditions that you failed to include. 
[/quote]

Sure, sure.

You sound just like all the Lucy Calkins sycophants.  These Lucy Calkins ruined the education of millions of American schoolchildren, but all along kept shrieking “the data!  the science!”  even though it was all falsehoods, intellectual dishonesty, and ineffectiveness.[/quote]
