Financial literacy is just as important in life as the other basics.

I don't think there are any students who should not be exposed to a basic financial literacy course.

When I finished high school, it was clear to me that I would study mathematics, even if I also considered economics and psychology.

In school, my favorite subject was math. That's where I learned to count money.

We must be willing to pay inspiring math and science teachers, who have high paying alternatives in industry, more to teach and reward students who take more challenging courses in high school.

I can't think of anything I would rather do with my money than buy my children the best possible education.

As a former high school teacher, I know that investing in education is one of the most important things we can do, not only for our children, but for the benefit of our whole community.

I was fortunate to grow up in a middle-class home with two hardworking parents who enjoyed both reading and mathematics.

I love teaching. If I made a trillion dollars, I would still teach. It's different every day. You get to meet intelligent people all the time - or at least most of the time.

At base, financial literacy is inextricably connected to control over one's future.
