[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry if we haven't surveyed every school system in the state, or if the other districts haven't announced plans yet.
Bottom line, at least two data points that [b]show what VMPI will mean[/b], despite their walkback and your claims of 'it was just some suggestions'.[/quote]

So you think VMPI will ban acceleration / advanced math?

If they had their way, they certainly would.

Go and listen to their published webinars and briefings and observe the bile and hatred they show towards students who are interested and good in math.
Youtube has the transcripts (click on the ..., then Open Transcripts); just type in VMPI.

In the bizarre Newspeak world of the VMPI protagonists, children who are interested and good in math are selected based on "perceived ability," forced into "tracks" from which they cannot escape, whereas students who show less interest and/or aptitude for math are "isolated" in low-performing groups. This is somehow inequitable, therefore, some must be giving up their "privilege," and all must be doing "group work" in "heterogeneous classrooms" until including 10th grade. (Everything I put in quotes are, well, quotations from statements they made or material they've published.)

This was the original proposal, and this is how it would still be had they not been temporarily rebuked. And this may well be how it will be depending on who runs the VA government after the Nov elections.
