@jordnickBEd I know a lot of people who took trades as "a backup plan"

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

@jordnickBEd Do you think they were pressured to pursue that education?

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

@jasminehare I know, eh! I am tempted to buy a print from her Etsy shop!

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

"it was “natural” for an adolescent to quit school and go fishing" More emphasis on education now, but still a trend. #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

As teachers we must "recognize the “needs” of rural youth who want to stay" & the needs of rural youth who want to leave #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

There are so many parallels between Russia, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, & Digby. Same problems but same solutions? hm. #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

If employment opportunities grow, you may see more youth return to rural. #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

"The more schooling rural youth get the more mobile they become" There is less opportunity for educated youth in rural areas. #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

This week I keep thinking of the quote #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

@jordnickBEd I took this as s a good thing, now I take it as a sad thing.

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

@jordnickBEd I was educated to emigrate. A teacher told me "you're going places, far away from here"

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

Growing up I felt my choices were "stay here & be a homemaker, hairdresser, or part-time worker" OR "leave & get a career" #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

"...the role of the tractor as a sign of male farm identity..." I wonder what the sign for female identity is #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

@shannonchatt I believe I saw more men than women today! Hm... #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

@thatallisonkid Wow! Only further proving that it is based on culture rather than other factors such as ability.

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

@shannonchatt I know wonderful teen moms, a few of my friends included, but education is needed to a) prevent and b) support if does happen

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

@shannonchatt More like "worry about the girls who...end up dropping out of high school BECAUSE they are pushing a stroller" #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

... it also contain an aura of obligation and compulsion for the individual youth who experience them" True, it's a mindset #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

"The alleged necessity of leaving rural places is not simply an innocent reflection of social conditions,... #NorCanRuralEd

[Ashleigh Barry @ajbarry09]

However, there are also different opportunities for men away from rural, but they are not always encouraged to explore them #NorCanRuralEd
