<br>
A matematika továbbra is rasszista az amerikai liberálisok szerint, ezért Virginia államban azt <br>
tervezi a tanigazgatás, hogy eltörli az emelt szintű matematikaoktatást - szemlézi a Fox News <br>
hírét[*] az Alapjogokért Központ.<br>
<br>
A tervek szerint minden gyereknek egészen a tizenegyedik osztályig – ami a magyar középiskolai <br>
negyedik osztálynak felel meg – egységes csoportokban kell tanulni a matematikát. Ez azt <br>
jelenti, hogy a tehetséges gyerekeket nem lehet külön csoportba szervezni.<br>
<br>
A matematika tantárgy témakörében is terveznek némi változtatást: a hatóság szeretné, ha a tantárgy<br>
<br>
„a számolás helyett inkább a kommunikációra és az egymással való kapcsolatokra koncentrálna”.<br>
<br>
Valóban, egyáltalán minek számolni tanulni a matematikaórán, nem igaz? Biztos jó hatással lesz <br>
ez a már így is „elképesztő” teljesítményt nyújtó állami oktatási rendszerükre? Habár konkrét <br>
indokot nem fogalmaztak meg, hogy miért akarják bevezetni ezt a kilúgozott matematika oktatást, <br>
de sejthető.<br>
<br>
Nemrég derült ki ugyanis, hogy<br>
<br>
az emelt csoportokban túlnyomó többségben fehér, illetve ázsiai tanulók vannak, és kevesebb <br>
fekete.<br>
<br>
Ebből persze az okos liberális döntéshozók azonnal leszűrték, hogy a matematika rasszista. Így <br>
tehát ahelyett, hogy az oktatás színvonalát növelnék, a tehetséges, ámbár szegény gyerekek <br>
esélyét is elveszik, hogy sikeresek lehessenek, hiszen ugyanannyira nem fognak tanítani nekik <br>
sem semmit, mint kevésbé tehetséges társaiknak. Mindezt persze az egyenlőség jegyében akarják <br>
meglépni.<br>

Virginia moving to eliminate all accelerated math courses before 11th grade as part of <br>
equity-focused plan<br>
<br>
Fox News, 2021.04.22.-- Sam Dorman<br>

<br>
State says framework includes 'differentiated instruction' catered to the needs of the child<br>
<br>
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is moving to eliminate all accelerated math options <br>
prior to 11th grade, effectively keeping higher-achieving students from advancing as they <br>
usually would in the school system.<br>
<br>
Loudoun County school board member Ian Serotkin posted about the change via Facebook on Tuesday. <br>
According to Serotkin, he learned of the change the night prior during a briefing from staff on <br>
the Virginia Mathematics Pathway Initiative (VMPI).<br>
<br>
"[A]s currently planned, this initiative will eliminate ALL math acceleration prior to 11th <br>
grade," he said. "That is not an exaggeration, nor does there appear to be any discretion in how <br>
local districts implement this. All 6th graders will take Foundational Concepts 6. All 7th <br>
graders will take Foundational Concepts 7. All 10th graders will take Essential Concepts 10. <br>
Only in 11th and 12th grade is there any opportunity for choice in higher math courses."<br>
<br>
His post included a chart with what appeared to be set math courses for 2022-2030.<br>
<br>
School Board Vice Chair Atoosa Reeser similarly expressed concern on Facebook, pointing to <br>
Serotkin's post. "Please see my colleague’s post regarding a new initiative by the VDOE," she <br>
said. "The ability to accelerate math at the schools in the Algonkian district has been a <br>
well-appreciated option for many students. Please keep a lookout for an information item to be <br>
on the Board agenda in the near future, which I will share in my Weekly Work-Up."<br>
<br>
The plan for implementing these ideas in various school districts is unclear. While Virginia has <br>
maintained that school districts have discretion, Serotkin said on Facebook that the county was <br>
restricted. In response to a question about whether the county had to adopt the framework he <br>
mentioned, Serotkin said: "I asked that exact question last night," referring to Monday's <br>
meeting. "It is a requirement from the state and we have to adopt it."<br>
<br>
VDOE did not immediately respond when asked about Serotkin's comment.<br>
<br>
During a webinar posted on YouTube in December, a member of the "essential concepts" committee <br>
claimed that the new framework would exclude traditional classes like Algebra 1 and Geometry.<br>
<br>
Committee member Ian Shenk, who focused on grades 8-10, said: "Let me be totally clear, we are <br>
talking about taking Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 – those three courses that we've known and <br>
loved ... and removing them from our high school mathematics program, replacing them with <br>
essential concepts for grade eight, nine, and 10."<br>
<br>
Shenk also clarified that under the framework, everyone in eighth grade would take "essential <br>
concepts 8."<br>
<br>
"So think about Grade 8, all of our students will be in a heterogeneously-grouped class and <br>
taking essential concepts 8 at the same time," he said. VDOE didn't respond when asked by Fox <br>
News about this, either.<br>
<br>
Shenk did say that the concepts courses wouldn't eliminate algebraic ideas but rather interweave <br>
multiple strands of mathematics throughout the courses. Those included data analysis, <br>
mathematical modeling, functions and algebra, spatial reasoning and probability.<br>
<br>
VDOE spokesperson Charles Pyle indicated to Fox News that the courses would allow for at least <br>
some variation depending on students' skill level. "Differentiated instruction means providing <br>
instruction that is catered to the learning needs of each child (appropriate levels of challenge <br>
and academic rigor)," Pyle said.<br>

LEARNERS<br>
<br>
On VDOE's website, the state features an infographic that indicates VMPI would require <br>
"concepts" courses for each grade level. It states various goals like "[i]mprove equity in <br>
mathematics learning opportunities," "[e]mpower students to be active participants in a <br>
quantitative world," and "[i]dentify K-12 mathematics pathways that support future success."<br>
<br>
The changes were just the latest of many to prompt concern from parents in the state, which has <br>
seen in-fighting over controversial ideas surrounding equity and race.<br>
<br>
A Loudoun parent who spoke on the condition of anonymity worried that the changes would "lower <br>
standards for all students in the name of equity."<br>
<br>

<br>
"These changes will have a profound impact on students who excel in STEM related curriculum, <br>
weakening our country's ability to compete in a global marketplace for years to come," the <br>
parent told Fox News on Thursday.<br>
<br>
Ian Prior, a Loudoun parent and former Trump administration official, similarly panned the move <br>
as a way to "stifle advancement for gifted students and set them back as they prepare for <br>
advanced mathematics in college. This is critical race theory in action and parents should be <br>
outraged."<br>
<br>
Pyle didn't provide an immediate answer to concerns that the new model would hold kids back. <br>
It's unclear how exactly the differentiation would occur. When asked for more details, Pyle <br>
said, "Differentiated instruction is designed to provide the appropriate levels of challenge and <br>
academic rigor for each student."<br>
<br>
The changes come as the state also considered eliminating advanced high school diplomas in an <br>
attempt to improve equity.<br>
<br>
In a lengthy statement to Fox News, Pyle touted the changes as an avenue to "deeper learning."<br>
<br>
<br>
"For many years, parents and the system have valued and rewarded speed via acceleration and <br>
'covering content' rather than depth of understanding. The Virginia Mathematics Pathway <br>
Initiative shifts to a focus on and value for deeper learning through differentiated instruction <br>
on grade level that will promote student development of critical thinking, authentic application <br>
and problem solving skills," Pyle said.<br>

<br>
Pyle added that VMPI "aims to support increased differentiated learning opportunities within a <br>
heterogeneous learning environment, that will promote greater access to advanced mathematical <br>
learning for all students before high school graduation.<br>
<br>
"Shifting to deeper learning through differentiated instruction, implementation of VMPI will <br>
promote student development of critical thinking, authentic application and problem solving skills.<br>
<br>
"Offering an inclusive learning environment that engages and challenges students of varied <br>
levels of understanding and different interests will be a focus of the common mathematics <br>
pathways proposed in grades K-10 ... These pathways seek to restructure mathematics education by <br>
focusing instruction on reasoning, real world problem solving, communication and connections <br>
while shifting away from an emphasis on computation and routine problem practice."<br>
<br>
Later in the statement, he adds: "VMPI implementation teams continue to work on addressing these <br>
considerations while moving forward to improve equity in mathematics opportunities for all <br>
students. VMPI Community meetings being offered this spring are intended to provide initial <br>
information regarding the initiative, but also be a venue in which feedback can be collected."<br>

It's unclear how these changes would affect each school district, but VDOE said it's currently <br>
gathering feedback regarding public concerns.<br>
<br>
"The VMPI implementation team (VDOE, college and university staff, and school division staff) is <br>
currently working to seek feedback to help ensure local implementation practices address <br>
concerns like the shift from acceleration to deeper learning," said Pyle.<br>
