It seems to me that school teaches everything you don't need to know (geometry and algebra) and nothing you do: relationships, sex, money management and how to make it, self-confidence, etc...
One may learn some valuable things about character in athletics--but that's a small subset of the population.
Every once in awhile a school gets a chess program going to kind of prove that this kind of thing helps kids in many ways--including academically (though the current World Chess Champ is a dropout).
But I'm thinking about everything I learn from poker--
Risk management
Evaluating people
Being patient
Decision making...
It goes on and on.
Should poker be taught in schools? What do you think?
