Given how that gambling is used as a form of revenue to pay for much of public education of many states, my question to debate is, should there be a form of gambling studies throughout elementary, middle, and high school that would mix gambling terminology with teaching and offer a course on responsible gambling? When I was in high school, my high school electronics book taught us how to make an electronic roulette wheel. Examples of mixing gambling terminology with teaching could include:

*having students in elementary grades color pictures that look like gambling machines, casino chips, playing cards; and having students in math time add, subtract, multiply, divide using gambling flash cards
*having students in middle school in English time diagram sentences with prepositional phrases that could say things like "Tommy went to the casino" or "Jessica played hearts with Sally and Mark while Jerry watched".

Also, having in high school health class teaching of responsible gambling - it would tell students how that electronic gambling machines can be programmed to cheat players and how that mechanical roulette machines can have magnets hidden underneath them that could stop the balls on unwanted numbers.
