[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is being poorly explained and the freaker-outers are just doing what they always do. No one is going to take a kid who took Algebra 1 in 7th grade and make them repeat it in 9th or 10th.[/quote]

In the AAP someone asked about this, and here is the response from VADOE.  That said you can definitely ask about this again by filling out this question form. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSesz3YtqVqXtAioJKX0xtYbPxUW6l7dfpbwfdbQyEQ5eTgZMQ/viewform?utm_name=.

New response from the VA Dept of Ed when I asked if they could confirm if they would "detrack" and eliminate honors:

The Virginia Mathematics Pathways Initiative proposals support the vision that all students are capable of making sense of and persevering in solving challenging mathematics problems and should be expected to do so. Many more students, regardless of gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, need to be given the support, confidence, and opportunities to reach much higher levels of mathematical success and interest. VMPI proposals do promote equity and that the practice of isolating low-achieving students in low-level or slower-paced mathematics groups should be eliminated.

Sincerely,
Tina Mazzacane
K-12 Mathematics Coordinator

Nowhere does that say it will be done retroactively.[/quote]
