I agree too, I've long abhorred the educational snobbery associated with academics as if academic achievement was the only worthwhile success our chidlren could have. But I believe it is only by changing the attitudes of millions of parents, who just want the exam pass tickets and who close their minds to everything else, that we will ever have the weight to make change. And sadly, attention will only come to the need for change as more and more children fail under the heavily weighted curriculum and force parents to question.
Our kids are like educational political pawns. And our system is an outdated as manual typewriters! It is a crisis.

Andy:
Snap!I've just blogged about the same prejudice (albeit it, taking a slightly different slant): http://davidpricesblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/our-ridiculous-hierarchy-of-education.html

Attitudes will change, once the ivory towers don't appear quite so attractive!
