High school dropouts_ are not unmotivated young people nor do they necessarily lack the -imntell' �ee.•to finish Grade 12 or 13, contrary to much public opinion. This is a conclusion of a recently completed study by the Calgary Family Service Bureau, reported in School Progress magazine. - Bert Marcuse, executive director of the bureau, launched the survey because he became concerned about the stereotyped opinions of students who drop ,out, which- label them as "no good,. unmotivated people." His interviews disclosed that two-thirds of the dropouts were taking , other courses or special training elsewhere, - B o redem causes - many students tc ' quit school, he found:, Another` cause is theofact that Many older students who have left school and come back _to. try again, just can't face it. "They feel left out, isolated and uncomfortable," - says Marcuse. - Poverty is also blamed for poor academic performance, he points out, but .adds, "It is not true that children from deprived area are not motivated. They may have different - values, but they are not unaware of the - - value. ,of:: education. They just don't have the expectation of being able to go- to university." University is still not available to most lower, income students; even less so in Canada than the U.S., says Marcuse, "But economically deprived el children often know that if they finish Grade 11 or 12, they will have to contribute - to their family's upkeep; or their own," he adds. "They have to accept the fact that education is still for the privileged people in our _society." Marcuse stresses that understanding thea problems of youngsters from poor - homes is essential if they are to have equal opportunities with more fortunate children, "but most middle-class people ,— including many teachers — have a fantastic ignorance of the culture of poverty."
