    I would like to teach people about the English Renaissance, something I'm really passionate about. It really is very interesting. 500 years ago might seem like a long time to some people but it really isn't considering that the Earth has been around for 4.6 Billion years. If we we're to look at portraits of people who lived during this time we could see that they're people just like us but yet they lead such very different lives.

    Today, we can administer Anesthesia before surgeries but back during the Renaissance Anesthesia didn't exist. Some forms of Pain Killers existed but they we're hardly effective. When someone performed surgery on you you would feel each and EVERY single cut at full throttle. The pain must've been unspeakable.

    It was normal during this time for people to constantly be sick and in pain. Our understanding of illnesses and the human anatomy was so poor that almost any kind of treatment avaliable proved to be highly ineffective. Childbirth during this time was so dangerous that pregnant women in labor we're told to pray deeply before giving birth in hopes that their child as well as themselves would be spared from death.

    Hygiene was also a big issue. Today, many people shower at least once per day but back then it was considered normal for people to shower only a few times a year. Everybody smelled horrible and Dental Hygiene was also a big problem. It was common for people to lose at least one-third of their teeth by the time they're in their 20's and from that point forth it just gets worse.

    Back then, sending a message to someone on the other side of the globe could take weeks or months, but today we can do that in a click of a button. There we're also no such things as refrigerators, microwaves, TV's, Phones, Laptops, Cars, Airplanes, Recording Devices and etc.

    So yeah, this is what I would like to teach. I could talk about this for hours.

      You seem awefully confident, and I think you're convinced you have nothing more to learn. And thus, you become a student of the art of learning and knowing what you can and can't do.

      That, I'd like to teach you.

    I have often thought about being a History teacher kind of as a retirement job because History was always an outstandingly easy subject for me. I'd probably like to go into High School or Elementary School. My Middle School years were absolutely terrible and I never want to go near one if I can choose not to, again.

    Math. I tutor in the subject and I feel as though I do a better job of explaining it that the current teachers. No offence to math teachers. I understand and some other students in the class can as well, but generally the way in which it is taught is defiantly be confusing.

    Remember kids, under four glasses she won't put out, over six glasses people'll say you took advantage of her. :D

    Teaching is something I'd really, really like to do when I'm older. To me, it doesn't matter what I'd teach. Possibly history, or one of the social sciences, or psychology.

    History is easier but I would rather teach English since I like it more. I'd probably turn it into a creative writing course but the closest class that I ever got to that in high school was AP Language and Composition so I'd teach that.

    Sports, definitely sports. I can't coach a football team and etc. But track &amp; field, athletics and general fitness -yes, please. But I'll never work at a school-they don't pay enough and I don't like kids.

    Probably something along the lines of 20th Century history or psychology, I am fascinated in reading about the past and about how we came to be today. I also tend to observe similarities very often between past events and whats going on right now. (America today seems a lot like the 70's, minus the disco and gaudy colors)

    Also, cars and video games, and how they have changed from their invention to now.

          I have done that too, where I would type in Spanish sentences and it would come out looking like

    I don't think i could teach my education on paper is none existent i have no qualifications what so ever.

    Comment Hidden ( show )
  • I'm currently training to become a teacher. My main qualifications are in music and I hope to become a music teacher, specifically in studio technology/sound engineering. I had an interesting discussion with my class on Saturday.

    There seems to be a hierarchy for the subjects taught within schools and colleges worldwide. The arts are always at the bottoms eg. Dance, drama, painting , music. The education system seems to be geared towards the industry and there has always been a message sent to convey discouragement for free thinking
    " Don't do art, you won't become an artist "

    My argument is that artists have an acute sense of intelligence derived from their interests. I know from experience that music has taught me to become disciplined as an adult and a human being. Learning the skills, techniques and gaining the tools within music has helped me to master some areas in my personal life and in my professional life.
    This train of thought has made its transition into the necessary areas of my life where I could apply some of its teachings. The golden rule of a musician - always be on time

    So in regards to the OP's question - I believe that I should be teaching students to become fully aware of the world around them, ultimately leading them to become skilled and compassionate human beings .

    I don't have any wisdom to share yet. If, in the future, I had to teach something, I'd quite like to teach history. I don't think I'd ever get bored of it. I'd only want to teach to kids who wanted to learn it, though. Of your list, science and cooking sound good. Teaching sport looks a bit boring to me.
