[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took notes from tonight's meeting for those who couldn't attend. TLDR: as others have said, they definitely have walked back the no acceleration thing. They also slipped in there once that *post calc* would be an option. Also, this time they weren't allowing live commenting on the stream.

Notes:
***
-Take the content from current Grade 8 (prealgebra), Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and some select concepts from statistics; and turn it into 3 courses worth of content (Essential concepts 8, 9, and 10)

Thank you for the notes.  4 years of material + extra stats concepts = 3 courses??  That's some interesting math right there.[/quote]
And for the weakest students, so they can have a pathway to calculus.  Nay, they will be forced onto the calculus path, after they went to all this trouble putting in all these extra classes because everyone doesn't need calculus.  
It would be easier to make pre-algebra open enrollment in 7th grade.[/quote]

Nothing would preclude school districts from doing that.

From the VDOW perspective, kids just need to check off their list of SOL requirements - doesn't matter how the districts get it done. Just like today.
