Real politics. None of this Mr. Bill stuff. How to find and get involved with your state party, how to get a protest permit, how to get signatures for a campaign, how to read statistics and polling, and finally factual primers on issues.
History, specifically APUSH. Because I went to school for it
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.
A philosophy class on how to live a better life.
I’m an expert on doing the wrong thing. I could just “Costanza rule” it and teach them to do the opposite of what I did.
I’ve always wondered isn’t it a paradox though? If everything you choose to do is wrong, so you choose to do the opposite, that is also your choice so it must be wrong lol
I have taught computer science, but I’d also be happy to teach art, finance, or ethics.
Media competency and how technology works. Because that includes things I’m good at, and it’s desperately needed.
Math. Because I have a degree in it. Not Math Education. Math.
Wood science, I suppose.
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.
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.
Gym, I’d just let 'em play dodgeball each class
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.
English, because word history is fun, communication is important, and teaching kids that language is constantly evolving would be fun.
Wine, Ihave been studying it for years
intro to programming! ive been told I’m pretty good at breaking things down in a way a beginner would understand and programming is something that can be so intimidating to outsiders, I’d want to help lower the bar to entry and enable people to become passionate in programming when they otherwise wouldn’t
