[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

At no point were they eliminating acceleration - they [u]always[/u] included calculus & IB as possible paths. As anyone can see if they look at those first presentations. And they completely clarified shortly after the question came up.

Go on pushing Republican propaganda. I’ll call out the lies and misinformation every time.

[/quote] This is about LCPS, which did eliminate acceleration, and according to the e-mail had a goal of eliminating more acceleration-lesser acceleration to prealgebra.  Algebra in 8th grade can put you on a path to calculus in high school but the current state is more acceleration than that is available and Loudoun got rid of it based on VMPI recommendations.  There is more e-mails showing this, but you keep repeating the lies about they were not doing these things, things which you want adopted.[/quote]

LCPS did not “eliminate acceleration”. Kids can accelerate at least two years ahead in math.

Speaking of lies.  :roll: 
[/quote]  They eliminated 6th grade algebra, at least for the one year.  And the goal was (and is) to eliminate the two years ahead acceleration you speak of.  Thus the original post of this thread. [/quote]

The original post is an article about California schools.

Please share any evidence that LCPS is currently planning to eliminate all acceleration.
