High school math key to success in sciencesStudents who took more math
in high school did better in all types of college science, while
students who took high school science courses such as chemistry or
physics, only improved college performance in those specific subject
areas, according to a recent study of 8474 students.Sadler, P., & Tai,
R. (2007, July). TRANSITIONS: The Two High-School Pillars Supporting
College Science. Science 27(317), 457-458.Most parents don't see need

leaders are increasingly eager to improve math and science classes, 70%
of parents are satisfied with the status quo.Public Agenda. (2007).
