This is for a personal writing project I'm working on. I imagine that Bitcoin would be good for things like teaching things like math with decimals ("How many Satoshis do you need to get a tenth of a Bitcoin?", stuff like that), budgeting (Spend it on whatever you want, but when it's gone, it's gone), or even a little bit of IT / programming stuff like how cryptography works. What do you guys think of this?

the goal in class is to teach something. if it is math, then you should teach math. if i count with apples or satoshis is not important, but the focus should be on learning math not on learning bitcoin.

Yeah I agree. You are meant to go to school so that you can learn life skills before you get a job and survive for yourself. Children definitely do get taught about currency and maybe when Bitcoin becomes a global currency, children will be taught about it.

Yeah, first they get told that pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters are money. Then are told that a paper "dollar" is equal in value to 4 junk metal quarters. Once their brain is scrambled with that nonsense they are ready to be fed the lie that infinitely increasing accounting ledger entries in a bank's computer are equal in value to the paper dollars.

Then, once you get them that mentally retarded, you tell them that the government spent more than they could take in in taxes AND that the government could have digitally created (but didn't) so now they (government) had to go out and "borrow" some previously created digital accounting entries (while they were still minors and not voting) and now the children need to pay off that debt they inherited.

Also, since the kids are now in debt, what's a few more tens of thousands on top of that so borrow a ton of digitally created computer entries to get an "education" so you can get a good job (so you can pay off the debt).

I love the way they teach them currency.
