"The academic intensity of the student's high school curriculum still counts more than anything else in precollegiate history in providing momentum toward completing a bachelor's degree."
"The world has gone quantitative: business, geography, criminal justice, history, allied health fields—a full range of disciplines and job tasks tells students why math requirements are not just some abstract school exercise."
"The message encourages all high schools to offer the requisite curricula, to make sure they have teachers who an deliver that curricula, to believe that their students can all reach higher levels of academic intensity in preparation, and to encourage their students to do so--no matter what students' intentions for subsequent education or work may be."
