[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even seriously considering the idea of that level of de-tracking and minimizing advanced math is reason enough for parents to make noise.

You have to catch these things before they get too far.

Anyway, apparently Youngkin has squashed the whole deal.

The next time Dems take over at the state level maybe they won’t try to decrease academic offerings.[/quote]

VDOE already squashed detracking in April 2021. Academic offerings were not being decreased.

Youngkin is pushing these lies to fleece his followers.

VDOE only backtracked on that when the FCPS and TJ moms like Asra caught wind of the plan.

Afger getting caught, they backtracked and purged the VDOE website of the details that showed their plan was indeed to dumb down math standards and detrack students all the way  from K through 10th grade.

The evidence was there on the Virginia Department of Education website.  Many parents viewed the written materials and watched the videos.

You can make up and repost the same thing over and over, but you are being dishonest and inaccurate.

Another point, when VDOE revised the elementary school history standards last year, they added a bullet in the curriculum standards for history that elementary kids in Virginia are to be taught that Independence Day (July 4th) is a divisive and controversial holiday.

So if you have parents in elementary school, indoctrinating elementary kids to view the celebration of our nation's birthday as a bad thing was next on their agenda.  The documents are available on the VA dept of education website.  You just have to do some digging.[/quote]

VDOE did consider de-tracking early in the process - in what they called the "building phase". 
Yes, it was discussed. 
Yes, there was a link about de-tracking on the website.

It is 100% lie to say that, after April 2021, VDOE was going to include de-tracking in their proposed changes.

The northern Virginia parents discovered the plan ro detrack in early spring and raised a ruckus, to the VA department of ed backtracked and purged those plans from their website.

Several school districts in the state had already initiated detracking diluring their spring class registration process based off VA DOE guidance, due to the timing of the changes overlapping with their class registration.

The outcry by parents, particularly NoVA parents was loud, passionate and swift once these plans became public.

So the VA dept of ed changed course in April 2021.

If there had not been a publicizing of this plan by diligent parents, the plan to detrack would have continued.  They only stopped because they got caught.

It wasn’t a “plan”. It never even made it as far as the draft proposal which would have come out this year.

It was one idea in a portfolio of possible changes to the math curriculum. They included it last year along with everything else during info sessions that were held explicitly for them to gather parent feedback.

Parents didn’t like it. They cut that part out. There is no big conspiracy here.
