Wine, Ihave been studying it for years
Traditional subject?
Physics, but applicable physics. Not just the boring memorization of formulae to do math with. Stress on beams like you might calculate for a building structure. Heat generated on a electrical transmission wire causing it to sag. How thrust and mass interact to put a satellite in orbit. Stuff that could be applied in a job or just be really interesting to figure out.
Creative writing. Id just be very good at it
Finance, credit, investing, retirement, savings. How money works. I’ve worked with way too many younger folks that don’t know anything about finance.
I had that opportunity once. But
“Nah, I want to get a feel for the market first, ya know? That’s why I’m investing short-term for now – I’ll do long-term later.”
VT ain’t as hip as Nvidia options, eh?
I grew up around finance people. I recall one guy at church, who used to run the Bank of NY, telling a bunch if us after the 1987 crash that he didn’t get why so many people under 65 were freaking out as their investments weren’t getting cashed in any time soon. It gave me perspective on how that race is run.
Gym, I’d just let 'em play dodgeball each class
How to adult.
Basically how to choose your internet and phone provider, compare the contracts etc. Same with power supplier. How to choose from the different suppliers and the impact of base price with the price per unit (and when it makes sense to choose a higher line price when the power price per unit is cheaper).
Insurance. Regulations for the driving license (like if you study and still are registered at home, you might have a hard time to make your license at your study place).
And all nitty picky things you have to remember when you grow up and rent your own place.
As well as learning and working contracts. Like how many vacation days are mandatory and what is usual.
Edit: If and how you do taxes. When they are mandatory and when they are optional.
Well, i guess you get the point. All those nasty responsibilities nobody explains you before being confronted with.
I really like this one. It’s modern Home Ec. And sorely needed.
Physics. Sometimes I can’t resist nerding out about it and teaching it to others! I didn’t get the title of “physics girl” in school for nothing haha.
I’m actually starting physics right now, new best friend.
Would teach: Apathy
Why? Apathy
How to pass the final? Not show up.
Nobody likes a kiss ass!
Anarchist’s Cookbook
Why? So much of that is inaccurate or unsafe that you would only be hurting people.
Now teaching kids how to safely work an angle grinder ora cutting torch so they can get into places when they forgot their keys? That’s useful stuff.
History because history always repeats itself. Human nature never changes so throughout time you will see both the good and bad repeated over and over again. If you think the reality of today is special or new you just haven’t studied history. Bet you don’t know that almost every new advance in technology was initially bashed as “that will never be popular” until it became the standard
almost every new advance in technology was initially bashed as “that will never be popular”
I actually did know this.
But yes, history is important. Very nice response.
Citizenship
Starship Troopers style?
Computer hardware and administration are probably my best subjects worth teaching.
I’m certified and have plenty of industry experience. I could even bring my own hardware for lessons.
Anything aviation. Metrology principles of flight engines pneumatics hydraulics avionics
I have taught computer science, but I’d also be happy to teach art, finance, or ethics.
Earth Science!
Cmere class, look at these clouds! They’re really really cool!! Okay, now here’s a five gallon bucket of water, try to lift it. Heavy, right? Now imagine six hundred of these and look at that cloud again. That’s how much that sucker holds. Crazy, right?!
Now hold this rock. Pretty heavy. Throw it, it falls. Then what about hailstones that are that size or larger. How can they keep something like that, along with five hundred tons of water alllll up in the sky?
Today we gon learn
Uncle Billy Bob teach’ said we gon’ learn. We learnt lots t’day
