Hello Everyone,
Chess teaches kids success in all walks of life. Here is a nice video on chess in education.
We must supplement this video by the nice link sent to us by one of our chess-loving readers – Graham Wadden. It is such a valid question today: Why isn’t chess on school curriculum?
The nice article states:
“Think about why parents send kids to school … to develop reasoning; analytical thinking; resilience; problem solving; perseverence …
All schools should be efficiently serving child development, equally, in two areas:
- Developing the physical body through exercise and sport;
- Developing the mind through subjects like maths, language/communication and the sciences.
Both areas mentioned require some form of thinking that Chess helps to nurture.”
