[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I previously posted how Algebra was being removed as an option for 6th graders in LCPS.

Looking at the state website explaining curriculum changes, there is a mention of detracking.
The idea is to not separate kids too much and saying that having kids of different ability level in the same class is beneficial to all.
There is also mention of equity in the curriculum.

It appears there is a push in Virginia DOE to remove higher level classes to reduce the achievement gap, particularly if there is a 
racial disparity between who is taking the classes.

Fairfax has also adopted critical race theory and a push for equity, so AAP there is likely going to be reduced.

Has anyone seen detracking mentioned at meetings of a school board or other committees?

OP, your racism is showing.[/quote]

How so?
Are you claiming that Virginia DOE does not mention race in its curriculum page linked above?
Are you claiming that there is not a racial disparity in academic enrollment?
Virginia AG has already concluded that there was racial discrimination by LCPS with its admissions to AOS.
My original post was not about AAP with which I am not familiar but with the general 'advanced academic programns'.[/quote]
