Michael, Tell your students that there is a correlation between the amount of education a person has (by degree) and his/her income later in life. Then tell them that their achievement on the SAT/ACT is correlated with their parents income. If this doesn't get their attention, then tell them to drop out and test the research! :-) just kidding, but good luck,
