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?

In my opinion, most of the student in the classroom or in the school campus will not gonna be open minded about in bitcoin. Or in some instances bitcoin can be a hindrance to their study. I think it is much better for the students to focus their mind in studying n school not in bitcoin, unless if the student are open minded in opportunity like Bitcoin to anyone.

I disagree with you. Students love to learn about new things and there is no doubt that most of them will try to figure out what Bitcoin is if you ever teach them about it. I used to be a college student when I first heard about Bitcoin. Then, I smashed all the internet in order to find more and more information about Bitcoin. Trust me, they will like Bitcoin

Isn't the point of education to learn new things? I think limiting the curriculum to only subjects that students are "open minded" too would limit the curriculum to drugs, sex and rock n roll. "Been there, done that" and , it doesn't work :-)
