Car maintenance? That's cool! How did you learn that or is just how to maintain it or more like under the hood stuff?

IYH I'll teach English.
If this year, I'll teach 12th grade (17 to 21?) boys in an Orthodox school. If in September, probably middle school boys at the same school. I wish I could teach girls, or the primary school when it's still mixed (and easy Wink

They had a car maintenance workshop for women at a place here, and I went. Its important to know how to check oil, fill up gas, check anti-freeze, transmission fluid, add wiper fluid, know how to change tire etc.

also good to know what colors the different fluids are so if u have a leak, you know how safe or unsafe it is to drive your car!

I would occasionally sub in the mornings as well- when it didnt interfer with school

B'h
The students teach me! Every day is a brand new learning one for me. After so many years I am still amazed at what some of these precious neshamas have to say.

Besides car management, where do you get the rest of your home management material? I teach a life skills class at a post HS seminary and am always looking for new material.

Why does almost everyone answering this post have such choppy teaching careers? as opposed to , say, "7th grade math for the past 10 years"? I am relieved that I'm not the only one. Seems like I'm not the only one who is overqualified and undercertified.
I taught preschool, many elementary grades, jr. high american history, and now I am doing a preschool, not to call it a playgroup , in my home, which is the very very best! I am my own principal, make all the rules, all the decisions, all the money (not so much) and have all the fun!!!
