This plan would have prevented students from taking accelerated math courses until the 11th grade. With this initiative&#8217;s removal, students who are very good at math can take advanced math classes before 11th grade.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This is just another instance of Governor Youngkin delivering on his promises to Virginia&#8217;s students and parents,&#8221; Macaulay Porter, a spokesperson for the governor, told Fox News Digital in a statement. &#8220;The governor pledged to remove the initiative, which would move away from advanced math courses, to restore academic excellence in Virginia and ensure our curriculum is preparing students to excel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The education proposal initially made headlines in April 2021 when Loudoun County School Board member Ian Serotkin wrote a Facebook post about the program after a staff briefing, saying it would &#8220;eliminate ALL math acceleration prior to 11th grade&#8221; and that &#8220;only in 11th and 12th grade is there any opportunity for choice in higher math courses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His post included a chart with what appeared to be set math courses for 2022-2030 in various school districts.<\/p>\n<p>Virigina Department of Education spokesperson Charles Pyle indicated to Fox News in April 2021 that the courses would allow for at least some variation depending on students&#8217; skill level. &#8220;Differentiated instruction means providing instruction that is catered to the learning needs of each child (appropriate levels of challenge and academic rigor),&#8221; Pyle said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/youngkin-virginia-mathematics-pathways-initiative\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Younkin&#8217;s administration removed the Virginia Mathematics Pathways Initiative (VMPI) from Virginia&#8217;s Department of Education website. &hellip; <a title=\"Plan to prevent accelerated math before 11th grade scraped\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=122278\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Plan to prevent accelerated math before 11th grade scraped<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-122278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=122278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122278\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=122278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=122278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=122278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
