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.
I really like this one. It’s modern Home Ec. And sorely needed.
Citizenship
Starship Troopers style?
Common sense/critical thinking 101.
It is utterly baffling watching some people just bumble through life completely clueless.
I have lost track of the number of adults who have no clue how do their taxes. They either have their parents do them or they pay someone to do them for themselves. I consider myself basically financially retarded, but I still learned the bare minimum to be able to do my own goddamn taxes.
People don’t know the bare minimum about their vehicles and it ends up costing them thousands.
People are oblivious to their surroundings and never prepared for anything even slightly.
People just do things without a single thought towards the potential consequences of their actions.
My choice would be to teach English literature, finances made me teach all manner of computer classes. :)
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
Uncle Billy Bob teach’ said we gon’ learn. We learnt lots t’day
Would teach: Apathy
Why? Apathy
How to pass the final? Not show up.
Nobody likes a kiss ass!
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.
Media competency and how technology works. Because that includes things I’m good at, and it’s desperately needed.

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
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
Secondary English… Because I used to teach secondary English
Anarchist’s Cookbook
Why? So much of that is inaccurate or unsafe that you would only be hurting people.
Now teaching kids how to safely work an angle grinder ora cutting torch so they can get into places when they forgot their keys? That’s useful stuff.
I always imagined myself like Robin Williams’ character in Dead Poet Society and being an English teacher.
