Rural teenagers often fail'To`sersights high Rural teenagers don't aim as high as their city counterparts when it comes to educa., tion or jobs, says a professor of extension education at the University of Guelph. A survey of 750 high school students, conducted in Fergus, Ontario, revealed that those aged 45 and 16 seemed to have lower aspirations than any other age group, says Professor Douglas Pletsch. In general. aspirations were higher for female students and students whose parents had high aspiration occupations. The terms high and low aspirations are based on a scale developed by American sociologist Archibald Haller of Michigan State University in the 1960s. Essentially, the distinction is between white collar and blue collar positions, says Prof. Pletsch. The ages of 1S and 16 seemed to be critical for rural youth - those from farms and those living in town - according to the study. Most in this group have low aspirations because they are frustrated and don't know where they're going, Prof. Pletsch speculates. Before 15 and after 16, their goals appear more clearly defined. This may be because of the emotional • turmoil of gaining independence, getting their driver's license and giving priority to activities that are more fun than scholastics, he says. Another possibility is that their aspirations may have been influenced by the pool economic outlook when the study was conducted. While parents' occupations and educa- tion influence a child, schooling and • extra -curricular activites are also important in shaping goals. Students entering high school with unproven capabilities and less precise goals are often put into the four-year stream, says Prof. Pletsch, resulting in subsequent lower aspirations than those in the five-year program.

TRIM -A -SIZE - families appear to benefit most from organized extra -curricular activities, but are often prevented by money and time.- "The ime."The outside exposure gained through community activities is important in leader- ship development," explains Prof. Pletsch. "The young person learns to feel at ease with other people - a characteristic which is - important in further education or in aspiring to a higher occupational level." While church activities and community sports are positive experiences, many rural youth spend their spare time "cruising" up and down streets in cars. "The link between 'cruising' and low aspirations is a vicious circle,' says Prof. Pletsch. "It's hard to say which conies first." Prof. Pletsch says urban children often have negative attitudes about rural children and their capabilities. These attitudes are out-of-date. he says, because opportunities for development and education skills are equally available and the skills needed to operate a modern commercial farm are comparable to those needed to operate a small business in town. He admits that he is concerned about the aspiration scale. "Because a rural per- son's aspirations are somewhat lower than his urban counterpart's, he's not any less of an individual or contributor to society." says Prof. Pletsch. "Because high suggests better. the aspiration scale implies that a low aspiration is less desirable, but this is not necessarily so. People who dig ditches, farm or become lawyers are all essetitial to the functioning of a' society and one is not necessarily more or less valuable than the other." Prof. Pletsch feels there is definitely a need for more counselling for 15 and 16 -year-old students in rural high schools, and more meaningful community activities for students with low aspirations.
