Computer programming and related tech skills. Why? Because I’ve been doing as a job and for fun for over 35 years and have been teaching it for 5 so I guess it works out.

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.

Finance, credit, investing, retirement, savings. How money works. I’ve worked with way too many younger folks that don’t know anything about finance.

Creative writing. Id just be very good at it

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.

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.

Would teach: Apathy

Why? Apathy

Wood science, I suppose.

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

Debate class. Have people choose a subject. Ask which side they want to support. Then assign them the opposite side. Get them to look at other angles of subjects

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

History, with an emphasis on grassroots struggles. If labor history were a real course in schools, I’d probably actually go back to college for an associate’s to actually teach it

Citizenship

History

It’s due to my passion for the subject and hope that I could cultivate the tools for critical thinking in young minds.

That being said I’d be terrible at it.

-First day of School

-Students: Good morning MisterNeon.

-Me: Cram it you little shits! Today I’m going to teach y’all why Mexico is cool. Anybody who says the words “aliens” or “giants” is getting thrown through a window.
