Packaged as two spiral-bound manuals for junior
and senior high school teachers, Drawing the
Line includes user-friendly information such as
a history of gambling, gambling in Nova Scotia,
the economics of gambling, the effect of problem
gambling on the family, and so on.
Response from teachers who participated in the
pilot project has been enthusiastic. Said one
teacher, "They (the students) loved the
activities, especially The Betting Game. They
also got into heated discussions I think that
some students came from families with gambling
problems, so they paid very close attention. It
really made them think about their own behavior
and where it may lead them."
Another teacher responded that, "The supplement
has helped my students become more aware of the
gambling industry as a whole, its size,
importance in our everyday lives, and possible
changes for the future."
