[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LCPS adopted VMPI before the rest of the state.

One of their LCPS math staff sent an e-mail 'I support eliminating tracking for equity reasons.' They eliminated algebra in 6th grade, and she said she wanted to eliminate prealgebra in 6th grade as well.

There was parent pressure to reverse this, and they yielded a little bit after VMPI was eliminated by Youngkin(at least in name).
The numbers accepted to 6th and 7th grade algebra are down, but this could be due to COVID based learning declines.

Fairfax has been piloting E3 to cut back on advanced math, and Loudoun may adopt this as well with this board. [/quote]

So much misinformation. Stop pushing lies to try to win a few votes. [/quote]
From LCPS staff to Tina Mazzacane"
"My goal is to eliminate the choices to take PreAlgebra and Algebra in 6th grade."
"I am very passionate about this change and truly believe the only way to stop inequities in mathematics education is to stop the tracking of students."

Go on talking about how the proposed changes are to blend together algebra and geometry like they do in Europe.[/quote]
Was that an actual email conversation?[/quote]
Both sentences were from the same e-mail, one side of the conversation while the others said things like thanks for your help.[/quote]
Wow. That's interesting.[/quote]
