...do you think the school has the sole responsibility in educating the young ones with a gambling addiction as they have the capability and knowledge about gambling education since they are educators?

In my perspective, educating the young people most especially students should primarily fall on the hands of the parents but the school system can help by including this in the curriculum most especially in values formation and in fact in today's era it is not just gambling that parents must be concerned about as all forms and types of vices and destructive habits are promoted all the time online and even offline, for that matter. Parents and educators should be working in partnership to sway our youth not to be trapped by gambling. Right now, it is unfortunate that the government allowed the advertising of gambling apps in national TV which should have never been allowed just like tobacco products. There is no question that modern gambling operators are targeting the young people as they are using young and popular celebrities as endorsers. I am sure that years from now we can see the many side-effects of letting these gambling options be opened to anyone with smartphone and some money to spare.

It could be done at a later stage in highschool or in college but it should be part of a bigger umbrella of Financial Education. It will be discussed along with savings, investing and smart spending.

Teaching about responsible gambling alone could backfire to some students. Instead of turning their backs, they could be more curious and try it.

Gambling is about risk and when is included in academic calendar or as a course of study to educate the young teenage and people the overall ideas on how to go about with their gambling exercise could be a good thing to say but, even as that it would spread and increase the rate of gambling since most of them could think that since they had learned all this principle and finds themselves fits about gambling they would decided to go into gambleology (like a course to study, or as a career) which you & I knows that it's indirectly encouraging people go into it even when we knows the implication it may course to them at their later ends. In general, human Being are the most difficult elements to control and they can't abides to to all every they had learned from it at tertiary institutions.

Gambling is not a social life, it's an entertainment that people chose and not force and when you check the number of people that gamble, they are far less than people that don't gamble. It's not government responsibility to watch over you why you should gamble or never gamble, that's your choice and lifestyle.

If gambling is the least problem that should be thought in school, then what about good leadership? They don't teach that in school that's why society is full of politic crooks and looters under the government. What about teaching of self love so that we don't end up with society with plenty of inferiority complex and peer pressure that makes young people go into illicit activities.

Responsible gambling can only be the work of guidance and counsel, or even the parent to teach their kids so they don't start what will not end well later.

The individual's character should start at home, and the school is where you learn all you need to know how to be productive and reach your goal. If gambling gets the child's attention, it will likely become a stumbling block to reaching a child's goal.

So, if gambling is legal, the school and the home should do their best to ensure that that child will not be tempted to gamble when he is in his formative years.

One can certainly appreciate if gambling is taught in places where gambling is legal. By teaching responsible gambling, I suggest teaching not about gambling but about how to control oneself in gambling. If gambling addicts are taught what changes in a person and how we can get rid of addiction, then the loss of others through this industry would be reduced. What can a gambler be like before and after gambling? In what ways can a gambler suffer? If all these things can be achieved by a gambler in advance then responsible gambling can be much easier for him. Various types of misdeeds would be reduced in the society. If boys and girls of a certain age were taught about this, there would certainly be good results.

If you leave educating your children to only teachers in school at the end of the day your children will only know more about education and the things the government wants them to know, they will not be street smart. Educating your child or children in responsible gambling should be a personal duty because you alone will be able to do it best. Even in a state where gambling is legal do not depend on someone else to teach your child about good morals or in particular responsible gambling.

I believe, there will be stages that one would reach in life, it will be okay to introduce a certain thing into their life despite their age as long as they have reached a certain age bracket.

Since gambling is risky and involves money, letting the young ones learn how to gamble responsibly is ideal, but what effects are doing that since they can't provide for themselves still yet, but depend solely on their parents for feeding and clothing. Having them, know about gambling at an early stage, can change their thinking from studying more to gambling more since they can make little or no more in a week or month.

The sole responsibility of  schools and other learning institutions is to shape the young minds and equip them with essential skills they'll mostly be needing in life, and that includes responsible decision making as well as how to prevent getting addicted.
So yes, in a country where gambling is legalized and without any age restrictions, gambling education is necessary and should be included in the school curriculum because gambling has lots of dangers and if not informed, children can easily fall into these dangers without even knowing it, so it's important to prepare their minds in time to avoid situations like that.

That would be good but unfortunately, this is almost impossible.
I don't see it happening for some reasons. I don't think that the government will try to add this to our current curriculum. After all, it's the responsibility of the parents of the addicted gambler to teach them how not to get addicted into it or at least lessen their interaction with those gambling websites.

I would love to see this being added to the current curriculum in our country, but anything related to money isn't taught in school. I don't also think that the government will try to add this even though it will be good for the well-being of a student.

Well I think it should and maybe the Department of Education should include this in the curriculum to further educate students about the possibilities in gambling as we all know that it is rampant in most countries worldwide. But the problem here is that they don't care about this since they are also responsible of giving permits to these gambling platforms and operators which can affect the possibilities of gaining smaller profits as students are more aware of the business if they are included in the curriculum but educators can actually warns their students about irresponsible gambling without it being approved from the department itself.

Of a truth the school is a learning citadel and as such should be very much impartful to the lives of young children but however, it is not everything that is being taught at school. Good morals should also be learnt at home too because as parents, it is also their responsibility to teach their kids what it means to be responsible and of good conduct.

I was wondering if gamble should be brought into the school curriculum, be it effects or what so ever that is being taught about gambling, do you not think that would trigger the children's curiosity as to have a try and see how it looks like? I was thinking if it should be kept out of school curriculum because the children are too tender as per age factor to know or hear anything about gambling and if it should be, it be from their parents because they would know how to teach their kids from experience because most of the parents must have had first hand knowledge of gambling exercise compared to the teachers who knows nothing about gambling.

Even if gambling is legal in my country, I don't think gambling should be taught to students in schools or educational institutions. Gambling should never be advised and taught to students at an age when they are learning and becoming human beings. We know that gambling, no matter how recreational it is, carries serious risks and life is a nightmare if you are addicted. I will never support those who support teaching responsible gambling in schools because gambling should never be taught at a young age. Considering the number of gambling addicts in every region or locality, you should never support gambling in an educational institution. Education should be done at the age of education. Gambling addiction should never be given to the brain of the students while growing up.

That's right, we must first consider everything before doing something, such as including gambling education in schools.

However, in some countries that prohibit gambling, especially those countries that are closely linked to religion, they have learned things like this. Not studying it specifically, but more general knowledge related to what is prohibited by certain religions, including gambling.

I think at school, students must learn more about finances and opportunities. The lesson must be not about how to earn or gambling is good or bad, but give examples or cases how people earned. Why most of the people turn to gambling? Because they want more money. Why dont they just earn them? Because it is more simple (wrong idea), because it is more available - that is how they see gambling. Students must be taught that gambling is not an instrument to earn, but a risky opportunity. Then I am ok with teaching about gambling in school. If the idea is «to gamble only the amount you can allow to lose», «be responsible or with cold head» and etc - then I am against learning such things at school.

Would you rather let them go figure it out themselves?
If gambling is legal and common in a society, whether you teach children or not, they'll still habe the urge to be part of it and find out what it's all about.
In a situation like that, do you still think it'll be a waste of time to properly educate children in school and warn them about the dangers of gambling and possible ways to avoid the dangers and how to live a healthy gambling lifestyle?

I think this is a good proposal to teach the young kids at school about the pros and cons of gambling just like how the academe teach students about sex education. The more education they have about gambling, the better judgment they have when they decide to gamble in the future.
Title: Re: Do You Think Responsible Gambling Should Be Taught In School?
Post by: bitbit97 on May 16, 2024, 02:30:34 PM
The more I think about this proposal, the more I believe that gambling or such personal things must be taught by parents. Here are some reasons:

1) Not everyone wants to learn to gamble, likes it or interested in it. So why would my kid learn that at school?
2) School is a place where students get general average information. Teachers are not the one who should teach each and everything. When kid graduates from school, he must have average knowledge on basic things. Gambling isnt basics in life
3) Parents ask to much from teachers. According to them, teacher must be a nanny, friend, teacher, team mate and dedicate whole life to kids. Teachers have their own lives too.

Even in a country where the gambling is legal, I think gambling shouldn't be educated in the school. Instead of guiding the students to stay away from gambling, it triggers the students to try gambling. That's why I think gambling shouldn't be introduced or learned in the school. School has no responsibility, it is not a subject that must be learned in the school. I think it is something that the parents of the students that take the responsibility. The parents who know that their children already gamble, they must learn the children how to be responsible in gambling. But for the children who don't gamble yet, it is not necessary to learn them how to be responsible in gambling.

No. Encouraging kids to gamble is not a good idea.
And what do you consider "responsible gambling"? Losing manageable amounts of money on a regular basis? That's what you want to teach kids in schools?

They should be taught how the process of addiction work, how the human brain works, what the dopamine rush is, and how to cope when you find yourself addicted (to gambling or anything else).

Would not it better to teach such things in university? Imo school students are not prepared for such specific knowledge. It will be ok to drop few words about dopamine and addiction, teachers should not focus on that. As teachers can not start explaining and teaching about gambling and dopamine from the very start, they need to first give basics and other knowledge about human brain and body. So called introductory part. It will stretch gambling lesson into a long course of weekly lessons. It will be tens and tens of hours spend on gambling just to know its little part. I think teachers should not waste so much time on that. There are more useful things to learn at school and focus than gambling.

I really do like your point of view here. Possibly, if this idea is focused on the university students, it would be nice because at that stage, students are well matured and groomed enough to absorb useful information and knowledge and also knowing what to do with information gotten through knowledge. Explaining things of that nature to university students would not really burden them because they are vast and can easily assimilate information they get compared to secondary or primary school students. I think your points here are very much valid and acceptable.

The same with making an investment that does not include in the school's curriculum, teaching how to become responsible in gambling should start being taught inside the house. Which can also be learned through experiences as there's difference between each person of how we understand and learned from the things we experience especially in gambling.

Aside from that, I was thinking of how they can make it to effectively teach to become responsible in gambling, how can they spread the topic to cover the whole school year. The topic might only circle around and the discussion will be repeatedly throughout the year.

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.

Of a truth early education matters for knowledge and information dissemination and I do not argue with the fact that it is nice to educate the students at their early age about gambling.

 I was thinking if the law does not hold such from happening because gambling eligibility is 18 years plus and looking at the fact that the primary and secondary schools are filled up with pupils below that age is something the government would argue over. On a normal it is assumed that children at such age are clueless about such things but the reverse is the case these days and the law states 18 and above  of age so I was wondering if the government would look into this because this is a very good bill for the law makers to decide on what best suits the school curriculum wether to add gambling education or not.

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.

Gambling is something personal and so it doesn't affect every student since not all students are involved in gambling.

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.

Go ahead and be my guest to catch secondary and primary school students attention and explain them what is dopamine and gambling activity. At that age kids understand more what they see (physical example is needed), then something imaginary like explaining how brain works. Like underaged are not ready for gambling, the same those students are not ready for such knowledge.

Moreover, the school with such knowledge are about to explain the bad side of gambling. Students might get a false general vision on gambling. One sided vision. But what if someone them wants to work in a casino or become a gambler (not a big % chance, but still).

Teaching about responsible gambling alone could backfire to some students. Instead of turning their backs, they could be more curious and try it.
Especially students who are still very young, because young people can be really inquisitive and always wanna know the reason why they're asked not to indulge in something, rather than refraining from them, they'd rather want to embark on the adventure of finding out the actual reason why they're instructed not to.
Rather learning from others' instructions, they'd rather prefer to learn via their own personal experience, and you're right that this could actually be disadvantageous as the actual purpose for the teaching would be defeated.

so far i know what goes on in the mind of someone when they have no money. because through education and experience we learn when to play and when to play and when to stop.

Responsible gambling is first and foremost about financial literacy. Therefore, of course, it is worth talking about it in school, because sooner or later a child will play games for money (especially if it is prohibited - people like to circumvent prohibitions, as there is a certain romance in it).

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.
As long as the initiative is taken nationally on any particular subject then it is definitely possible for that nation to acquire as much knowledge as possible on that subject. The prevalence of gambling has gradually increased and now if children are given an idea about this issue in schools especially its bad aspects are well explained to them then surely this education will be very useful for them when they rush towards gambling in the future. They can keep them free from addiction.

It is worth talking, not teaching. It is enough to dedicate 10-15 minutes about that during the lesson, not much. Kids go to school to get average and overall knowledge, not a detailed knowledge about gambling and finances only.

I understand that it is individual initiative of every school, but for example, drugs and alcohol does much destruction and harm to society. When I was in school, we had only 1 40min lesson about drugs and addiction. It was sort of an unofficial lesson. More like "kids stay at school for more 40min and listen to lecture". We just sit, listen and chat. There was no teaching, but sort of a talk and few questions from students. That was it.

I think it could be but age restrictions need. I think child gambling is not good. When child involved in gambling he will so far from his instutional education. And he will fall in risk for his future. 

So it can be includ for highschool or College level not for primary school. We should careful about our child.

Child gambling isn't about something to think about, what is not good is not good, emotion or any justification behind a child gambling behavior and even though it's been thought school, the role in which the government that approve gambling, the parent who look out for a child and the gambling platform who role out services all together need to come with a permanent solution.

The truth is that kyc is failing despite the harsh judgement behind anti money laundering scheme, it doesn't stop minors from playing, the noobs might actually wouldn't be able but the smart ones knows better how to follow the back door.

Well, actually, I do agree that older people should not play in casinos Until they are 18 years old, and it is not necessarily thanks to the KYC, this should be the responsibility of parents to be able to guide their children not to fall into such a dangerous thing for a minor, 'because a minor represents a lot of risk, not only that he falls and spends all his money, without falling into an addiction that is something very dangerous, I don't see the point To that end, I am also a person who will always agree with KYC because I see it as very controlling and with a lot of access to governments and banks, so that's all I don't agree with.

Gambling cannot be taught in schools, we should first of all know this, NGOs and other regulatory bodies may take the responsibility of educating other people about gambling responsibly including the young ones, but the schools cannot introduce such as an educative curriculum because such is off their scope of scheme in which they should be taught, this is the responsibilities of the parents to teach and train their children about what they perceive about gambling.
