Wrong:
Calculus in HS is accelerated by at least one year. Same with IB; Algebra 1 in 8th grade is a pre-req.

The baseline path is: 9-A1, 10-G, 11-A2, 12-PreCalc

School districts have always had flexibility when creating their own courses and pathways. And nothing in VMPI was proposing to change that.

The list of courses provided by DOE has always been treated as a baseline. For example, if you look at the list of math courses listed today on Youngkin's DOE website you'll notice there are ZERO compressed/advanced/accelerated options - [b]not even calculus[/b]. And yet, nearly all school districts do offer calculus. Did Youngkin ban advanced/accelerated math?

I'm not personally pushing to eliminate advanced classes or acceleration - just dispelling the lies and misinformation that some posters insist on pushing on DCUM.

The reason there's no calculus is that for Calculus we fortunately have national standards provided by the College Board, so we don't need our state government to come up with one to provide guidance for schools.[/quote]

Because it's a college-level course. Kids who take it in high school are accelerated.
