Yes, it should
I taught a disturbed boy to play chess. Regrettably, it didn't stop him from going on to be a murderer.

So you also play sports in school. Chess is a sport, so u can't play chess?

YES YEs YES I do think so But let the students choose between lichess and chess.com
As a curriculum? No.
I have an alternative. A mandatory curriculum class that can be picked by the student.
Add a music, chess maybe, arts, paint, drawing, sports, etc class.
On top of that, having a club, where the students can go after hours, maybe Saturdays too a few hours.
Yes I do think they should have a club/extra curriculum yes it is sicenitfly proven to raise IQ
No,because as a professional chess player it would increase competition for me and you would see children becoming grandmaster at 10
chess provides very little to no useful skills. Also, in general, as a game it sucks huge and major ass.
Thank you for reading :)
