1985 was the first year that TEAM 7, ITASCA DISTRICT #10 won the Stock Market Game (Chicago Tribune/DePaul University edition). Last year in the EconomicsAmerica Stock Market Game, Peacock swept the region winning 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd. TEAM 7 has one percent of the teams in the game and statistically should win ONLY ONCE every ONE HUNDRED YEARS! Yet, Mr. Peel's teams have been fortunate enough to win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in the state EIGHTEEN times in TWENTY YEARS! A search of the Chicago Tribune Archives "Profits Soar..." will give an idea of our approach to teaching Economics in the Middle School Classroom.
