Question: What Do You Think, Can Teaching Poker/Blackjack To Kids be "Educational"?

I work as a homework aide in an afterschool program so one day I brought over my card and chips set.

The boss got mad at me when she found out I was playing poker and blackjack with the kids (mainly third and fourth grade) and she said that we can only play educational games.

I was thinking that you need to know math and numbers to play poker and blackjack, especially if you use chips so you know how much money is at stake.

I think card-playing can be "educational".

Answer: What? Of course it can. Poker requires counting chips as you said, and both games require logic and reasoning. I mean, I understand that you're not going to find a World Series of Poker set in the educational aisle of the toy store, but there absolutely is educational value in it.
