Dude...you can't have students thinking in school. What would the world come to? ;)
Unfortunately, Chess is one of the games you can play on a computer - unlike football or hockey. Dimwits cannot distinguish from a distance whether you are reading about it, or playing games. Obviously she has a bias against chess - or doesn't know much about it.
You can play football or hockey on the computer!
I don't know that this is relevant to anything, but an interesting phenomenon I've discovered: when I play chess online at work (during lunch, a break, a boring teleconference), I feel like I actually do better than I do when I'm home relaxing. Maybe my brain is more turned on at work, or I'm playing other people who are trying to play while at work, I don't know. I just think its ironic that I thought playing chess would expand my critical thinking abilities and maybe improve my work skills, and in fact I think its my work that improves my chess game.
I have a similar problem, I substitute teach and each day I get about a two hour break for grading and preparing lessons, but I'm a substitute I don't have papers to grade or lessons to prepare. What I would like to do is play or study chess but the school blocked all the sites with chess on it.
