You would accept poker as a school subject?

I would even accept so that the child learns early about the challenges of life and how to know how to control a situation in which you can lose money and get lost in life.

I remember that back in the school days we even had economy lessons for 1 year - there we visited once our national bank museum or something where was some game etc where someone our class managed to bankrupt our economy (imagine if this would happen in real life) ...

As for school subject then it probably would rely on teacher like how intresting (s)he would do this particular subject cause if you've some subjects where teacher is basically female version of Hitler and/or senile old man then these lessons are probably never going to be intresting sadly :bebored:

So in short i probably would say no to your question

Unfortunately I don't believe it is a good idea.

There are some aspects that are good teaching points that has real world application like the math, brm discipline, dealing with ups and downs and reading people.

The bad aspects is the gambling and addiction and bluffing which is essentially lying/tricking people. I don't think this is good to teach younger persons who are very impressionable and don't make the best life decisions sometimes. I think it is why playing cards or other games for money is limited to 18+.
