Quote by Danica McKellar
I had done quite a bit of research about math education when I spoke before Congress in 2000 about the importance of women in mathematics. The session of Congress was all about raising more scholarships for girls in college. I told them I felt that it's too late by college.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker reflects on their research on math education and their experience speaking before Congress in 2000. The session focused on increasing scholarships for girls in college, but the speaker expresses a different viewpoint. They state that, based on their research, addressing the issue of girls' participation in math should happen at an earlier stage rather than college. By asserting that "it's too late by college," the speaker implies that interventions and efforts to improve girls' involvement in mathematics should be implemented during their earlier educational years to foster long-term interest and success in the subject.
