University administrators desperate to attract Gen Z students have long added gimmicks to courses to boost their appeal. But a university in Texas is taking their offering in one direction not previously trialled by running a course on British pop star Harry Styles . The 28-year-old is due to be the subject of a course at Texas State University Honors College titled “Harry Styles and the cult of celebrity: identity, the internet, and European pop culture”. An advert for the course says it will focus on Mr Styles and popular European culture “to understand the cultural and political development of the modern celebrity as related to questions of gender and sexuality, race, class, nation and globalism, media, fashion, fan culture, internet culture and consumerism.” Students who complete the course, starting next Spring, will be able to earn credits towards qualifications in history, international studies, popular culture studies, diversity studies and women’s and gender studies. … [Read more...] about Harry Styles course to be offered at university

Boarding schools no longer need ‘Harry Potter effect’ to inspire children, leading headmaster says
Just over a decade ago, the “Harry Potter” effect was credited for sparking something of a renaissance for British boarding schools, which had seen a steady decline in numbers over the previous twenty years. Several of the country's leading institutions set about building new boarding houses to cope with the surge in demand from a generation of children - and parents - who wanted to re-create the enchantment of boarding schools conjured by J. K. Rowling’s novels. But now the chair of the Boarding School Association (BSA) has said that the Hogwarts-inspired wave of popularity is waning, and institutions must think about ways to modernise their image to attract new students. Leo Winkley, headmaster of St Peter’s School in York, one of the oldest boarding schools in the country, said that the “Harry Potter effect created something of a boarding school revival but it cast a false spell”, adding that schools need not seek to “bamboozle” children or their parents into boarding. … [Read more...] about Boarding schools no longer need ‘Harry Potter effect’ to inspire children, leading headmaster says

‘Lonely’ Prince Harry ‘has no pals’ in Montecito: ‘Luxury prison!’
Royal experts point out Prince Harry’s utter loneliness in Montecito luxury prison. This claim has been made by Perez Hilton, a renowned celebrity and gossip columnist. According to a report by Express he was quoted saying, “Harry has no family here in Montecito. He has no lifelong friends in Montecito.” At the end of the day, “He has new friends, he hobnobs with David Foster and with Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom and with Ellen… I’m sure and with Oprah down the street. “But he’s in the honeymoon phase of moving,” at the moment. “And that’s all fun now… and his children are still very young.” Before concluding Perez pointed out, “I would think eventually there might come a time when he would want his children to have a meaningful relationship with his family.” … [Read more...] about ‘Lonely’ Prince Harry ‘has no pals’ in Montecito: ‘Luxury prison!’

Death of morality and trust in schools puts male teachers at risk
Kato Harris was a teacher with a flourishing career apparently ahead of him in a school in Ascot, Berkshire. Then, in December 2014, a pupil he had never taught nor could recall ever talking to accused him of rape. He suffered a 17-month ordeal, when he endured public shame, went through the courts, and saw his career unravel. He was cleared by the jury after just 15 minutes. Mr Harris is now unemployed, living in a bedsit and is unsurprisingly bitter about the whole experience and lack of support he believes he received. Tragically, he now says: “If I knew then what I know now, I would never have become a teacher. I would never work with children again.” Teaching, he warns other men, is too great a reputational risk. As a head teacher for 20 years, I spent my time encouraging people to teach in schools, believing it to be the finest profession one can possibly pursue. So Mr Harris’s remarks are incredibly distressing. But are we in danger here of losing perspective? There … [Read more...] about Death of morality and trust in schools puts male teachers at risk
Geography teacher cleared of raping pupil says men should stay away from teaching
A geography teacher cleared of raping a pupil has warned that men should steer clear of the profession, after a false allegation shattered his dream career. Kato Harris, a former head of department at an all-girls school in London, was accused of attacking a 14-year-old three times in a classroom during lunch breaks in autumn 2013, but was found not guilty after a trial last year . The 38-year-old said before his ordeal began, "life was like a wonderful dream", and with a successful career and a child also on the way he was "looking forward to a great future". In an interview with the Mail on Sunday , he has disclosed that "one of the biggest challenges" he now faces is forgiving his accuser, something he said he will do, "just not now". He told the newspaper: "I would certainly advocate that no man qualify as a teacher. It is just not worth it. What is the lesson here? There is nothing to protect the male teacher." A jury found Mr Harris, from Richmond, not guilty of … [Read more...] about Geography teacher cleared of raping pupil says men should stay away from teaching
