Virginia moving to eliminate all accelerated math courses before 11th grade as part of equity-focused plan

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is moving to eliminate all accelerated math options prior to 11th grade, effectively keeping higher-achieving students from advancing as they usually would in the school system.

Hey they "feel" advance math classes are racist, therefore we need to listen to them.

Racist against asians imo

As someone that consistently was taking math classes 2-3 years ahead at all times ...

I can’t imagine how unmotivated I would have been by being stunted in growth and development

Basically this is going to push education away from the public to private sector

I hear the Chinese do this too.

It also leads to behavioral problems due to boredom

And you're right, this is just another advantage for those who can pay to play

There's no doubt this isn't happening at the expensive private schools guys like Biden send their kids to so that they don't have to grow up in a "racial jungle."

Sends a nice message that only white kids can be advanced at math

Just don't call them racist

Advance math, like standardized tests is racist.

The sheep that think this is a good idea are clueless to the implications

This isn’t going to impact anybody with $$$ as they’ll move to private sources ...

So effectively what is happening is a blatant shift at separating the have’s and have not’s ... education will completely be dependent upon how much $$$ you have

I want EVERYBODY to have an opportunity to get a good education, to be able to pursue educational pursuits and their dreams ... this is NOT going to result in that

Good thing we put a black kid on the cover so all the black kids can know that there are no expectations for them because the KKK created math.

Low expectation and low standards for black kids, especially black boys, in the public schools are real. I've seen it up close and in person.

I've told this story too many times but so what. Our son came home with 50% on a math test and a B. I went down to see the teacher and she said he tried hard.

Believe it or not that excuse won't work with your boss

I had pretty much the exact same experience with my oldest. He wasn't much of a student and kind of class clown/personable con-man. He liked going to school, because he liked the attention and he had a captive audience where he could perform his "act." That was enough for some of his teachers to give him a passing grade and move him along. To my shock, he is now actually doing well in CC down by you.

A b at 50%

This is how a lot of SJW teachers think.

Keep the advanced kids down. They can go help the disadvantaged kids instead of going on to Calc. 2. It's all Trump and institutional racism's fault. Watch for grades to start going away.

Social justice has been achieved!

Starting in the 2nd/3rd grade it was pretty obvious that I was way ahead of my peers in math ... neither teacher really knew what to do ... let’s just say I was fairly bored

I had the same teacher for 4th and 5th grade ... his solution was to drop an advanced book at my desk and tell me that by and large I was on independent study during the main lesson aspect and he’d come work with me while the rest worked on their problem sets ... I thrived

Midway through 6th grade I switched school districts and went from middle school back to elementary school ... back at elementary school it was pretty obvious that the teacher didn’t know math and I effectively taught the class

That’s a long winded way of saying that you bring up an excellent point in that not only are we dumbing down the kids, but we’re reducing the requirement for excellence from our teachers.

This is such an abject disaster

Bill was demoted from the high math class in 2nd grade. Then I got like 97s in the ghetto average class without trying hard but by middle school it was clear I was in the average range. It's okay. I accept it. I'll never be an engineer.

Back then, or even ten years ago we accepted people are either good at math, average, or suck st it and placed them a accordingly. Now younger Gen X and Millennials who were given trophies for nothing and hate successful types throw in their woke nonsense into verifiable facts. Lifting people who struggle is good. Stagnating the ones with 134 IQs is irresponsible and wrong.

SJW obsessed teachers are the real Nazis.

And their union assemblies are their Nuremberg rallies. Period.
