Do you think having a casino or any gambling center close to an institution of learning, will influence the students somehow or should I say be a positive or negative reinforcement on them, in anyway?

Thoughts?

Students will want to gamble more than they'll want to read because many people don't believe in the education system anymore and want to make money while they're young so that they can enjoy the money until they get older. Opening a casino near a learning institution will distract the students that wants to lean.

When they see other students coming out of the casino as winners, they'll want to try too. That'll see thsoe coming out as losers but it won't make them scared but make them to want to try too thinking they can do better than the people that are coming out defeated. It is just a bad Idea to do this, let us not distract the students that wants to study and make an impact in the world through education.
There are other places that a casino can open and they'll make money because they'll have customers that are adults and are responsible for the way they use their money. Teens should be left alone, I don't support gambling to be done anywhere near where learning institution are located.

Absolutely disagree. If I open an expensive restaurant near learning institution, does it mean students will get distracted by food, and all they think would be eating instead of studying. Dont forget that student is often described as person who isnt rich, or dont have spare money. After studies, many students either hang out with friends, or go to work. Students pass many different buildings, that does not mean they get obsessed with all of them.

What do you mean "other students coming out of the casino as winners" ? First of all, how do you understand if a person that leaves a building is a winner. Second - who would allow underaged to enter casino? Third - you think someone would on purpose stand near casino and wait for winner to came out, to get triggered by that and start gambling himself? Fourth - when was the last time you saw someone winning a lot, and do it frequent?
