[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this only for Fairfax county? Does anyone know if Loudoun county is doing something similar? Thanks.[/quote] Anyone?[/quote] anyone what? Before the pandemic, Loudoun, like many other districts, had a well-established process to identify advanced 5th-grade students for Algebra 1 in 6th grade. Those students later in 8th grade could take Algebra 2 trig at a nearby high school, with lcps school bus transportation provided during the last block. Then came the pandemic and the surge of equity cool-aid. The entire option for Algebra 1 in 6th grade was removed. Now that things are settling, and common sense returned, Algebra 1 in 6th grade is back on the table (see page 4), but still without the clear 5th grade screening, support, or structure that existed pre-pandemic. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aassl5gKM0axKb6oxS-F-IGwYLHA8Bnj/view [/quote]
