"Being successful in my line of work" (89 percent) and "finding steady work" (85 percent) were ranked the highestof 12 life goals. Jhe statewide sample showed that ooe-third of the high school seniors reported that they had taken remedial English; 30 percent, remedial mathematics; 17 percent, advanced English; and 25 percent, advanced mathematics. Of the seniors who took remedial English, 70 percent also took remedial mathematics. Eighteen percent of the students who took remedial English classes later enrolled in advanced English courses. However, only 10 percent of the students who took remedical classes for mathematics later enrolled in advanced classes. Also, remedial students, when contrasted with ad­ vanced students, clearly perceived teachers as showing less interest in them. Remedial students were more likely to judge the quality of instruction as "fair to poor", according to the survey. In the area of life goals, "finding the right person to marry and having a happy family life" was rated as very important by 81 percent of the seniors. Only 37 percent of the students rated "having children" as very important. The survey also noted differences in how male and female students ranked certain life goals. For example, the seniors' responses show males more often than females rated "having lots of money" very important (44 percent to 23 percent.) To examine the per­ ceptions of youth on national service, the HSB survey asked students: "If there were a program of com­ pulsory two-year service after high school, with op­ tions of military service or community..!., what would you most likely do?" Responses were that 17 percent would choose the military; 24 percent would choose public service; 26 percent were uncertain of their choices; and a third of the students would try to avoid either option. In addition to being used by the state board for S research and planning, the HSB data will be made available to researchers and policy analysts at colleges, universities, and othef various educational in­ stitutions across the state.
