[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Complaining here does nothing.  I called my Delegate's office and the staffer clearly new nothing about the plan and just repeated two bullets of information.  I said -- the plan seems to eliminate all tracking and honors courses.  If you understand differently, please let me know. And if that is the case, please ask the Delegate (also the Speaker) if she supports the elimination of honors classes across the state. Waiting to hear back.

My State Senator asked me to tell him more about the proposal.

I asked our principal how it would effect AAP and she didn't even understand the question.  It seemed like she was either out of the loop or ducking.

You need to call your reps.  The VA DOE is moving this without explaining the implications to elected officials.

it kills AAP. Do you really think gen ed parents watching their kid's standards plummet won't be quick to point out to the state DOE if there is a subset allowed to flaunt the new rules? It should make TJ hilarious too if the math needed for the science classes can't legally be offered [/quote]

The standards aren't lowered. More kids will meet them.

Just because you set the bar on the ground, does not mean that more kids are achieving.

It just means that anyone who can walk, crawl or roll can make it over the bar, even if they don't learn a single thing.[/quote]

The standard is the standard. Today, many students don’t meet those standards. And many others accelerate right past the standards.

If we can rework the system to help more kids meet the standard while the accelerated kids can still get AP calculus, then why not?

We're not convinced more kids will meet the standards. What in VMPI's proposal has convinced you more kids will meet the standards?[/quote]
