Do You Think Responsible Gambling Should Be Taught In School?

[Agbe]

I have not heard in a country that gambling is in their educational curriculum and I don't think that is even good to add. Gambling is not something you advise someone to do e even though the government permits people to gamble in the country. Gambling empty people's accounts so telling people to gamble is not even good but you can only allow it to exist so those who interested can have fun with it and not taking it to the education sector.

Yes gambling has not been specified in the textbooks of any country so far that they have to be taught. I think there is no need to teach the students about gambling from primary to high school. If they get knowledge about gambling at this time, I think they will have a lot of reading difficulties and they will be attracted to gambling and become addicted to gambling. There is a certain age for gambling maybe university or later people will teach you about gambling I don't think gambling should ever be taught. Especially from primary to high school I never support textbooks to learn about gambling during this period because this period is the most important age for students to learn. If the students are addicted at this growing age, their life is completely ruined.

If it is a sub-topic in another subject like social studies or sociology then it is only the disadvantages will be taught and not the gambling itself. It is better to tell them the bad side of gambling from the primary school so that when they are in the college level they would have have already known the important of not participating in gambling. The way drug addiction is taught in schools, gambling addiction should also be taught in schools so that they would be well grounded with the knowledge of gambling addiction.

In a country where gambling is legal, and there are no regulations about age restrictions

Not true, there are age restrictions regardless of the fact that gambling is legal in some jurisdiction. This not withstanding  it will not be proper to expose students to gambling. Gambling is something personal and so it doesn't affect every student since not all students are involved in gambling. Bringing gambling discussion in schools will only amount to flooding the school curriculum with unnecessary things.

I would say the same thing, instead on making students would really be able to avoid gambling then it would rather be creating that kind of impression on which it might really be leading up
on engagement just because they have gotten curious on what the school is been teaching. So it would be better to leave it that way and also when it comes to awareness towards things on which it isnt really just that limited to gamblign will already be a job for those parents or simply with their guardians.
