小学老师组织学生应援肖战，已被停职丨 Let pupils find their own stars
肖战转发人民日报再发声，小学老师的一番话该如何理解？来看CHINADAILY怎么说？
肖战5.10的发文内容
A video clip went viral on social networking sites on Sunday showing a primary school teacher guiding her classroom to dance and say in unison: "You are so good,XiaoZhan,we like you!Come on!" Some sources say the video clip was made in September, and now the video has been deleted.
The Xiao they named is an emerging pop star in China. The incident was traced to a school in Suqian, Jiangsu province, and the local education bureau suspended the teacher, while also considering disciplinary action against her.
As an adult, the teacher can, by all means, have an idol and express her support for him whichever way she likes, but she cannot thrust it on her students is purely up to the students whether or not they want an idol. A teacher influencing their decision could negatively impact their future decision-making skills.
Besides, primary education being compulsory, it entrusts the teacher with some authority over the students. So, her asking her students to follow her star amounts to an abuse of that power.
Influencing students this way can also prove detrimental for her idol, who might be seen as exploiting public resources for his personal growth. That's particularly unfair to Xiao,who himself took to the micro blog urging everybody to follow regulations and be rational while worshiping him and putting their jobs above everything else. He has said so many times in the past too.
That does not mean teachers cannot tell children about entertainment stars,who too are doing a job like many others in society, and can be a role model for the students when they have to choose a career in future. All's well, so long as the teachers do not make their students toe their line on their idols, instead leaving them to choose for themselves who they should worship, if at all.

John's estimate
实际上在肖战的事件中有两个主体：肖战及其工作室和肖战“特殊”的粉丝们，前者的纵容和后者的放肆产生了这样的恶果。
教师不是不可以推荐明星，他们可以将其作为正能量的偶像，给孩子们树立良好的榜样，但不可以滥用职权，带领孩子为偶像应援。
明星的引导只是一部分，更多的努力还是要靠个人，在你拥有人民教师这一个称号时，身上的重担便比别人多出十分，学生的思想教育引导永远是我们不可忽视的话题。
