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 would love to teach people electrical/electronic and mechanical repair skills. It's very hard without things to repair and I don't think it's possible except in person, hands on.

      I've been thinking about teaching people about simple homesteading. Canning, making bread, how to identify usable firewood and chainsaw maintenance, light construction, working on cars/small engines... Stuff like that

      I want to try it out on friends first and see how I feel
