A great report on ⬆️ access and opportunity in STEM by @JUST_Equations @PamelaBurdman. "Just 2% of students who begin at a comm college earn a BA in STEM within 6 yrs". Mainly due to: inconsistent math reqs, scheduling, & confusing transfer policies.

Absolutely. Every child deserves the very best. Not just those that can afford it. 🧡 🥰.
Truth is, if you want society to be better for your child, you have to make society better for every child. Just focusing on yours alone won’t do them any good. It certainly won’t give them the type of society you want. All children are our children.
