I just wanted to bring up, the federal minimum wage is $7.25.

If a child gets 6 cents for getting a right answer, and the child does 1 problem every 30 seconds (which I think is pretty feasible) that adds up to $7.25 a hour.

That's only 1 cent more then a nickel.

CA's minimum wage is $16.5 per hour, so they would need to do more math faster. I can't do math right now though so maybe you can figure it out.

He's also really keen on giving everyone else work, while he does fuck all. No job, no hobbies, no art. Literally nothing. Consuming resources is the only work performed.

Can't even comprehend the answer ChatGPT gave him but he has parenting advice.

Do you still think a nickel per answer is worthless?

As I said before, if the child is payed 6 cents per answer and they do 1 problem every 30 seconds, which I think isn't that extreme, that add up to federal minimum wage $7.25

Fucking drop it. It's a stupid idea. It will go nowhere, and no one but you would do it. You aren't gonna have kids, so it's all nothing.

Kids that age respond far better to praise and encouragement than cash. They don't really understand money at that age.

Yeah, I played that as a kid, but that's more about practice/reinforcement than imparting concepts, yeah?
Good software to run on a donated gaming laptop though :p

I only learned I have math dyslexia a few years ago. Never learned much, but had fun playing the video games! :p

You're not learning algebra. Probably not playing games at a competent level either.
