Except that’s not what was happening. In many respects it was going to make the math curriculum more rigorous.
I’m the first math teacher that responded. I’ve been to a lot of meetings about this during the past year and in my opinion, this is not true. It would not be more rigorous.
What level math do you teach?

To the pp that was lamenting about just buying in a good school district and now going to have to look at private. You should send him an email to thank him. He just saved your good public school.
Why - because blending algebra & geometry and adding data science was really that terrible?
No, because they wanted to put all kids in the same math class until 10th or 11th grade. I hate Youngkin and did not vote for him but I'm glad this is gone.
That idea that was loosely floated (not even on infographic) around a year ago was squashed several months ago. Stop spreading disinformation.
It was actually in the initial proposal as was equity as the #1 goal (not math education), then it was quickly walked back and equity was put further down the list of goals. They were waiting until after the election until releasing the final version. It truly was like a "you have to pass it to find out what's in it". Didn't vote for him, but know a lot of Asian people who did solely for this issue.
You have a problem with VDOE making sure that Virginia's math curriculum isn't leaving certain students behind or unprepared to hold a job?
Of course not. But let’s not leave them behind by devoting resources to help them catch up and be their very best, not by holding advanced kids back.

And you can stop peddling your anti- anything Youngkin propaganda.
Anyone that wants to look at this with critical thinking skills knows what’s up.
