Re: Sign a Petition to get rid of Math Investigations

More | Report Post

Two years ago parents did make a Math Investigation petition
in Loudoun . Teachers and parents did sign it. Teachers
emailed school board members to share their concerns. I had
many school board members contact me. Most sb members agreed
the program should not be forced all over the county. Hence,
why some schools only do a "blended" approach now.
Otherwise, every school would be forced to do MI. I know of
many schools that do NOT do MT. However, there are just as
many that do it.............
