[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank god. I remember reading the original slides on VMPI and calling my Delegate as well as the Delegate Candidates to say this was a voting issue for me.  The original YouTube videos and proposal was all about detracking math and making it harder for kids to take Calculus and other higher level math classes. It was bad.

It didn’t hurt that enough parents in NoVA complained about the proposal and forced those responsible to make some drastic changes to the proposal.

I voted Democrat in the last election but I am glad to see the ridiculous proposal flushed.[/quote]

agreed - if VA is like other "progressive" districts across the country, they'll pinky-swear to remove detracking and then just do it anyway. some people said that a promise was good enough...no, it's really not. I'm all for the other part of VMPI - substituting more stats/probability in place of advanced calc, but this was never the main thrust of VMPI[/quote]

There is a very long, multi-year process to change the curriculum. After they published the draft it would go through a long approval process including public feedback. There is no way for them to sneak it in.

And it wasn’t the “main thrust” at all. It didn’t even make the infographic.

Stop lying.
