[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could have sworn when I looked at this curriculum pacing guide last spring, the advanced math for grade 3 was acceleration over gen Ed math. But this graph is basically identical as gen Ed for pacing, and with only a few more bullet points (extensions) for each unit. Am I crazy?

FCPS is discouraging and eliminating advanced math and math acceleration opportunities because they believe they will further their racial equity goals by doing so. Essentially, FCPS is seeking to close the racial achievement gap "from the top down" by holding back the kids at the top.

This approach could ultimately be effective at "closing the gap." [/quote]

If anyone thinks advantaged families will stop finding ways to perpetuate their advantage, they are crazy. And by advantaged I include the majority of DCUM posters.

All reducing acceleration opportunities in public does is take them from people who can't afford private or enrichment.[/quote]
Yep my kids are getting a great education with our supplementing and it is becoming painfully obvious that their less fortunate but highly intelligent peers are academically declining in comparison.

By all accounts, they will all get good grades so equity will be achieved…[/quote]
