Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 7022994, member: 430261"] It would probably be frowned upon if Schools added Holdem to their curriculum, but I used Blackjack to teach my Daughter how to recognise numbers and how to add them before she started at the Nursery School. My Wife had nightmares on my Daughter's teacher asking if any of them could count to Ten, and My Lass shoving her hand up saying "I can count higher than that miss, 8,9,10, Jack, Queen, King" Seriously though she did excel in Maths at school, and she was always top of her class. I was in my spare time an Adult tutor in Information Technology, which sounds rather grand, but basically I taught Adults the basics in the Windows Programs like Word, Excel, Power Point etc. On one occasion I was asked to run a kids Computer Club after school hours and all I was told was I didn't have to teach them anything' just supervise that they didn't get up to any mischief. On the first night, the Kids turned up expecting me to show them something new and being totally unprepared I was a little worried about how I could do something that would be fun for them. Thinking quick I asked them if any of them were having trouble in school with Multiplication? "Oh We are not doing Sums are we" they all shouted, I said "No, but how would you like to learn how the computer can do it all for you?" I got them to open Excel, and showed them how to design a simple table giving you all the answers, which they could Colour and print off to take home, They loved it! Unbeknown to me one of the little girls Mother was someone I worked with and the next day at work she asked me "What's the Idea, teaching my Daughter how to cheat at School?" With a little smirk on her face. I explained that it wasn't cheating as you can buy Exercise Books with the tables on the back cover from any book store and she burst out laughing, Saying "It's alright," Her Daughter had spent an hour asking her older brothers and sisters Maths questions and checking their answers on her Table she had made.
