Please answer this question then. Will kids be able to take Algebra in 7th and post-Calc in 12th?  If so, what’s the difference between VPMI and what we have now?[/quote]

As far as we know, there will no longer be post-calc options (unless you're taking summer school on your own.) Obviously, that could change, but right now [b]everything we have seen[/b] indicates that VMPI precludes post-calc math in K-12 schools.[/quote]

Not "everything": 
[i]The traditional high school pathway culminating in the study of Calculus or other advanced courses is not being eliminated. [/i][/quote]

The italicized [b]does not say[/b] that post-AP Calculus classes will be offered. "Other advanced courses" could be AP Stats or something. There has actually been no explicit reassurance that dual enrollment type courses will still be an option, which blows my mind.[/quote]

They did say dual enrollment courses will still be an option.
