Mixed reactions follow the teacher’s method

“They’ll drop what they’re learning and start wondering why they didn’t get 1,000.

“Write other things in all the newspapers.

“Or just use virtual money.

“Then.

“Reward the best students with 1,000 each.

“That way, everyone is MOTIVATED to win next time.

“The other way to teach luck.”

“I don’t know if this happened, but let the empty envelopes contain a note about the probability of them choosing and emptying one and let the other contain another note about the probability of them choosing the one with money.”

About that, Legitimate.ng previously reported that a teacher was caught using a cow as instructional material in the classroom.
