Math. Because I have a degree in it. Not Math Education. Math.
I have taught computer science, but I’d also be happy to teach art, finance, or ethics.
My choice would be to teach English literature, finances made me teach all manner of computer classes. :)
Secondary English… Because I used to teach secondary English
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.
Citizenship
Starship Troopers style?
Anarchist’s Cookbook
English, because word history is fun, communication is important, and teaching kids that language is constantly evolving would be fun.
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.
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
How to pass the final? Not show up.
Nobody likes a kiss ass!
Revolution
I always imagined myself like Robin Williams’ character in Dead Poet Society and being an English teacher.
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
I live in Texas, and we focused on the glories of “free-market” “laissez faire” capitalism in our American history class.
Not a word about things like the Triangle Shirtwaist fire or the Homestead Strike or the Great Railroad Strike of 1922. I’m frankly shocked that we talked about the civil rights movement at all.
Since you live in Texas, you might be interested in your own version of Blair Mountain, the Grabow Massacre during the Texas Lumber Wars
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
