Many students are ignoring building their own careers to seek a chance at fame instead, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) survey found.Almost two­thirds of teachers said sports stars were the type of celebrity many pupils wanted to follow while more than half of the students wanted to be pop stars.The survey said the celebrities that students aspired to mostly were David and Victoria Beckham who live in Los Angeles now. Soccer player Beckham is on the top of the survey while in second place, with almost a third of the survey's votes, was his 33­year­old pop star wife.Almost half of the 300 teachers surveyed said pupils tried to look like or behave like the celebrities they most admired, with some girls even dressing “unsuitably” “We are not surprised about the influence of celebrity culture in schools it reflects the current media passion with celebrities and the effect of celebrity culture on society as a whole，” ATL general secretary Mary Bousted said in a statement.“Celebrities can have a positive effect on pupils. They can raise pupils' aspirations and desires for the future. However, celebrity culture can spread the idea that celebrity status is the greatest achievement and reinforce the belief that other career choices are not as valuable，” said one primary school teacher. “Too many of the pupils believe that school success is unnecessary, because they will be able to get fame and fortune quite easily through a reality TV show.”1.
