For me, I think I'd love to teach creative writing and grammar, but I'd love to teach ged level topics.

When I worked in mental health, I did that a lot and it was really good for me to teach and help people who never had someone to work with them. I created a creative writing group at the mental health facility I worked at. They'd share their work during an open mic or even at talent shows.

I'd transcribe their writing when they couldn't spell and help them put their sentences together. I helped them write to their case workers and advocate for their needs.

I think I'd love to be able to do that for everyone. If full communism happens, that's what I would love to do every day for the rest of my life.

What about the rest of you? Is there something you'd be able to talk about enough as a teacher? It doesn't have to be something like literal education. I know people around here really know theory, or genres of music or games, or history. What would you want to share with the world?

    I wouldn't want to teach so much, but I'd love to have a study group dedicated to the day to day functioning of prefigurative projects, stuff like land defenses, autonomous territories, free schools, buy nothing groups, seed libraries, etc. As well as the more utopian aspects of AES, like the Venezuelan communes, the soviet school system, etc. Hell, I'm even interested in radical social reforms within capitalist states like the Italian preschool system.
