Like, I want to believe you that such a thing is easy. But I'm not really convinced by the assertion that it is followed by a non-descriptive blurb. I mean I get what you're saying, "Find what they care about and try to apply statistics to it." However, I don't believe that this process is easy.
Sports is a good example of why I don't think this is easy. What exactly is the point of statistics in sports? Predicting what teams are going to win or what strategies are superior. Most children in school are not interested in sports because they're into strategy or because they're predicting who's going to win. They're interested in it for social reasons. Which team do their parents or friends want to win. Telling everyone at thanksgiving that the family team is going to lose the game will probably not go well for them. And as far as strategy goes ... I thought the statistical analysis of the extra point kick in football indicates that you should never do it. Teams rarely make use of this at the professional level. Also didn't they make a movie about how nobody pays attention to the math in baseball (Moneyball?). Anyway, if adults who have money and fame on the line can't be bothered to care about statistics in sports, then I don't see how children are going to be much different.
Of course that's where you come in. You say it's easy. Personally, I would love to see why you think this because it looks hard to me. I look forward to a more in depth response from you.
