Girls' behavior at school is becoming worse due to the appeal of Wag lifestyles and reality TV shows, according to teachers.

  They are giving up on studying because they want an " easy route to money" by becoming a footballer's wife or an instant star on Britain's Got Talent or The X Factor. Many want to be?come a mini-celebrity instantly and they often interrupt classes，spread rumors and even take cy-berbullying. As a result, teachers' time is increasingly taken up with dealing with "horsing a-round"，use of mobile phones in lessons and bullying.

  The Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) surveyed 859 teachers, heads, lecturers and support staff working in state and independent schools ahead of its annual conference，which begins in Liverpool today. Nearly half said girls' behavior has worsened over the past two years. And one in five believed that girls' behavior is more challenging than that of boys.

  Hank Roberts, ATL's junior vice president, cited the influence of Wags―young women who obtain instant wealth by marrying sportsmen. And he thought that teaching is made more difficult by programmes such as The X Factor, which is judged by Cheryl Cole―herself the winner of a TV talent show and a former footballer's wife.

  Mr Roberts，a teacher at Copland Community School in Wembley，said that the TV shows create a "false image of success that anyone can do it and it's just a matter of luck rather than hard work". Other reasons given for girls' bad behavior are bust-ups(破裂) with friends and family and problems associated with puberty(青春期) .Almost half of teachers said the most common form of bad behavior is bullying by isolating another pupil and spreading rumors.

 We arrived at the hospital to find Dad exhausted and weak,but his smile was as sure as ev?er. My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our 1 by Mon?day morning. Local relatives would 2 that Dad got home from the hospital and look in on him regularly and prepare his meals. 3 would make sure he got his daily 4 and take him to his doctor appointments. But I wanted to let him know that we 5 too,even when we weren't with him.

  Then I remembered a family 6 I started when our children were small. When 7 ,their grandparents' home after a visit, each child would 8 a love note in the house for their grandfather or grandmother to find after we were gone. For several days after our 9   ，their grandparents would smile as they 10 these reminders of our love.

Some were 12 "Dad,I froze the casserole(砂锅菜) in the fridge so it wouldn't go bad.”Some expressed my love. "Dad,I 13 you sleep well in your new bed. " 14 notes were downstairs where he would have to remain for weeks 15 he re?gained strength, but one note I hid 16 under his pillow. " Dad, if you have 17 this note，you must be feeling better. We are so glad！"

He said, "I'll tell you how I'm doing. I just found your note under my upstairs pillow！"
