Kids educational dreams risk being ruined by the craze of celebrity scandals and culture, teachers' leaders have cautioned. Teachers stress about their educatees' fixations with footballers, pop music stars and famous actors are impacting their progress in college, and confining their employment aspirations. Some 60 % of teachers said their educatees most aimed to be David Beckham. About a 3rd said educatees desired to be famous for the sake of being famous. Some 30 PERCENT of the 300 teachers quizzed said their educatees modelled their selves on inheritress Paris Hilton. The determinations were published ahead of the ATL group discussion in Torquay which begins on Monday.
Delegates will moot a apparent motion that contends the 'decay in this country into the rage of celebrity scandals is demoralising children's ambitions. If it is passed the teaching trade union will ask the government and other organizations to promote positive role models of 'average folks across the media'. ATL general secretary Mary Bousted said celebrities could raise students' ambitions and ambitions for the future. But she cautioned : 'We are profoundly concerned that a lot students consider celebrity status is available to all or any. 'They will not understand the time and effort it takes to reach such status and do not realize its important to be actively engaged in college work as a good education is not required for a celebrity status.' Elizabeth Farrar, from a elementary school near Scunthorpe, said increasingly pupils considered academic triumph was 'unnecessary' seeing that they believed they would be able to make their fame and fortune rather easily on a reality TV program. 'They think they are a great deal more likely to reach financial well being through celebrity than through advance to class and a adequate career.'.
A junior grade tutor from Colchester, Essex, quizzed in the study said the media emphasis on celebrity scandals promoted underage drunkenness and anti-social behaviour. 'Those celebs who are fine sportsmen or first class actors are often overlooked and not shown as worthy to kids.' But virtually threes fourths of teachers said they believed a increased exposure of celebrity culture could have a beneficial impression as well as a negative one. Julie Gilligan, from a elementary school in Salford, said : 'The racialism issue raised by celebrity Big Brother made a useful platform for class debate. 'Then again, I have seen and heard negative emulation of celebrity footballer pop star language and behaviour in the playground and in school - this includes disturbingly age-inappropriate 'acts' by young girls in school talent shows.' A spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families said schools already marketed positive occupations such as nursing and teaching. He added : 'While the worst overindulgences of celebrity culture may lend themselves to lurid headlines, it is worth keeping in mind that there are so many more celebrities who set a good example on a localised and national level. 'They assist in schools and community tasks, encourage sport and healthy lifestyles, take part in anti narcotic campaigns and persuade children to follow in education and to stay safe'.
