[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was no misinformation, just your choosing to believe VMPI's current statements over their past statements, even when they have clearly lied about 'this has always been the case' that school districts could do tracking and acceleration.
They clearly backtracked and pretended it was not a backtrack.  This is a lie.

Even with the backtracking, it is still a taking away of advanced math in practice, because VMPI is kind of winging it trying to do multiple things at once.
They want to put algebra/geometry/algebra 2 blended together in grades 8-10 so as to maintain a path to calculus.
Then they want this to be available for all students, so they are throwing prealgebra in there as well in the same grades 8-10.[/quote]

Wait...

Gen ed parent here.

What happened to Algebra in 7th/Geometry in 8th??[/quote]

VDOE is now saying you could take “Essential Concepts1” starting in 7th to be done by 9th if your district offered that, which would theoretically put you in the same place as Algebra I in 7th.

They didn’t say that at first.[/quote]

They also didn’t say they couldn’t...

They didn’t explicitly say one way or another.

In the current math curriculum there isn’t anything explicit about acceleration. Math 8 is presumably for 8th graders even though many kids learn those concepts before 8th grade.
