OR, and stay with me, you actually read the story and realize its not true! It's literally in the Fox piece. The story was based on a FB post, seen here : LINK
Fox headline: "Virginia moving to eliminate all accelerated math courses before 11th grade as part of equity-focused plan"
The Facebook post that the whole story was based on, which INCLUDES the directly conflicting update:
"EDITED 4/27:
Changes/updates from VDOE:
• The implementation of VMPI would still allow for student acceleration in mathematics content according to ability and achievement. It does not dictate how and when students take specific courses. Those decisions remain with students and school divisions based on individualized learning needs.
• Local school divisions will still have plenty of flexibility to create courses aligned to the standards to meet the needs of all students; and provide opportunities for all students to advance through the curriculum based on their learning needs. School divisions will also be able to offer advanced sections and acceleration through the courses."
Seriously, did ANYONE actually read it? All you have to do is scroll down the OPs link slightly and it tells you the headline is bullshite. From the source that Fox based the whole story on, it's all right there! This is a classic example of why this place is such a joke most of the time. 69 upvotes (nice)? Really? Does anyone care about accuracy at all?

I've said this before, stifle the gifted and frustrate the rest. And we wonder why Americans academically are not at the top. In my day, our classes were based on educational achievement, i.e., bright, average and those struggling.

Virginia moving to eliminate all accelerated math courses before 11th grade - for 'equity'
This is why Virginians are so stupid.

Have you ever considered reading anything BEYOND the headline??? Crazy concept, I know.

mwade91383 just because you think your facts are different don’t make them true. My truth is to believe the headline. Therefore you are an idiot and wrong and should be embarrassed on how stupid you are.

We have "educators" working to prevent people from obtaining an education. Remember that when they say "we're doing this for your own good".
EDIT: Epic thread bump!

The funniest part is you edited your post and STILL didn't notice the story isn't true.

It makes the stupid feel better, that's all that matters.

Don't be fooled by the 'differentiated instruction' crap, it means nothing. Advanced students have always been left to fend for themselves or 'teach' their lower-performing classmates. Advanced students have not been the focus of any educational plan for years and it appears that VA will continue to ignore the kids who truly are the future of the country.
