Danica McKellar has a message for girls: Cute and smart is better than cute and dumb.
Danica McKellar wants girls to steer away from the example set by Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, The Associated Press informs.
McKellar is coming out with a book, “Math Doesn’t Suck,” to encourage girls to get into math.
“When girls see the antics of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, they think that being fun and glamorous also means being dumb and irresponsible,” the 32-year-old McKellar told Newsweek for editions to hit newsstands Monday.
“But I want to show them that being smart is cool,” she said. “Being good at math is cool. And not only that, it can help them get what they want out of life.”
The book includes tips to avoid mistakes on homework, ways to overcome test-day anxiety and profiles of three beautiful mathematicians.
“I want to tell girls that cute and dumb isn’t as good as cute and smart,” she said.
How cool do you this math is?
