hah no, I mean to offer it as a free extras.

Someone taught me a cool bit of willful ignorance long ago: After choosing a profession one should try to solve all problems from that domain however poorly it fits. That way one learns relevant stuff rather than lose oneself in a second or 3rd profession. Of course it turns things into impossible challenges but if you get better at what you do the time is always worth it. A gardener should solve all his problems with gardening.

You "win" the elections by teaching (deliberately not doing everything else)

> The most frustrating thing about education is trying to explain to voters why their child has to learn something (at a young age) that the parent doesn't understand.

You mean the most challenging thing is to teach the voter why one has to learn something at a young age.

It has teaching in it twice! I would love to share my thoughts but you have near infinitely more experience doing this. (you have been warned haha!)

The challenge would be to get people to sit themselves down in front of your blackboard. Use youtube if necessary.

Then you simply brag endlessly about what you do, why you do it, what the students though hard work, your effort and good parenting have accomplished and how that will benefit them later on. Use examples!

We have a garden 6 by 12 meter with a shed in it 3 by 3 meters. The tiles are 30 by 30 cm. 72 square meter minus 9 is 63 square meters! How many tiles do we need?

10 by 10 is 100 tiles, the tiles are 30 cm long so 10 of them is 3 meters! 3 times 3 is 9 square meter! One tile is therefore?

Then you point at mum (the camera) and say correct! 9 meter is 900 cm divided by 100 is 9 square cm per tile!

We needed 63 meters which is 6300 cm therefore we need 6300 divided by 9 is 700 tiles!

Thanks to my sophisticated arithmetic I'm able to calculate such things and order my tiles without giving it a second thought.

Your kids can learn this too (point at the audience or camera again) and take on ever greater challenges in life.

~the end~

I would stand on my desk saying that but you have to give it your own style of course.
