Is It Entirely Legal…
Monday, 18 May 2009
And if it is, is it entirely appropriate?
Robyn was packing her back for school tomorrow and she took the deck of cards and packed them. I asked why she needed cards.
“Because my maths teachers teaching us how to count cards,” she said as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
“WHAT?”
“He’s like teaching us how to count cards, you know, like in black jack, like in a casino.”
“WHAT???”
“Calm down mum, it’s a legitimate teaching method.”
IS IT????
I never learned this at school, are they supposed to teach them this stuff???
I’m torn between going to see him and question his methods, and booking a flight to Vegas to try it out!!!!

i think its probably a case of anything to make maths interesting.......at least i hope so !

It doesn't sound like a proper teaching method to me. If it was, wouldn't the teacher supply the materials (cards)? I'd talk to the Principal of the school. Ya never know!

Definitely book the flight to Vegas - we'll meet you there!
Sounds like a fun way to learn math principles that will make you more aware of the connection of numbers. How did that sound?

if it means that Robyn can contribute to the bills, then I'm all for it!

it's probably just an application method. Its actually a great way to learn positive and negative numbers

Wow! The teaching methods in your neck of the woods is certainly different (lol)

There are pros and cons I am sure. My only question is how do I get in on this class?

I'd go with Vegas. Is there a way I can get in on this too?

this is kinda funny and scary... cant decide which onr!!!

Serious? I think I would be calling and inquiring. I have heard of alternative teaching methods (especially when it comes to more difficult subjects), but counting cards?

What hotel are you booking in Vegas? I'll be right out....

Wow, that is a whole new way to teach that I wouldn't think is legal to do in school. Aren't there other ways?
