[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is 2 grades ahead bc they watered the math program down. I went through the same public school system as my kid and what they are learning as a 3rd grader, I was taught in 1st grade. During covid, when we largely had to teach our own kids, I started my kid on what i thought was on‐level math. Turns out it was 2 grade levels ahead. [/quote]

FCPS has massively diminished educational standards, in the name of “equity” (DEI).

Hope they make the smart move and disband their 60+ DEIA department, or the school system will lose federal educational funding (and it will be the disadvantaged / FARMS kids who will be harmed the most if FCPS keeps it up with their DEI obsession). [/quote]

FCPS uses the math standards developed by the State of Virginia, the standards are changed every 7 years. This year new standards went into place and are the math requirements are far les demanding. The County can only do so much to push past those standards. [/quote]

FCPS chooses its own math curriculum.  Most recently, FCPS chose E3 math; the E is for equity.

The “standard” is the SOL, which is developed by the Commonwealth

By the way, Virginia is a commonwealth, not a state, but the PP likely did not grow up in Virginia or she would have known that.[/quote]

Commonwealth = State legally, I lived here as a child and in a different Commonwealth but nice try and a ridiculous argument.

The Curriculum standards are set by the State, and the Counties are responsible for following those standards. The SOL measures how well kids have learned the standards set by the State. It is clear that that FCPS curriculum shifted this year, and it goes back to what the VDOE changed. It is true that FCPS has made statements that they are trying to get more students into Algebra 1 by 8th grade and the County has changed the threshold need to take Algebra 1 H in 7th grade. Next years Algebra 1 SOLs should be interesting to see.
