     Course topics:

     • How to recognize a plant

     • How to look where you’re stepping

     • How to locate the ground, the place where you step, so you can look at it

     • No, you have to actually pay attention when you look at it

     • Yes, “don’t step on the plants” includes the particular plant you are currently stepping on

     I would teach this course myself, but based on my experience doing exterior work on the house myself, apparently I need it too

     @griotspeak It’s true, and in class I often find that I’m best at teaching the thing I only just figured out / re-remembered myself, because I actually remember what’s hard about them!

     @inthehands I'm sure you, at least, seem familiar with the course material. You know?

     As soon as my school gets funding, you’ve got a place on the faculty.

     @inthehands I would like to sign up to teach an advanced course, “How to not dig up a tree that is, in fact, not dead, but very clearly still dormant, you fucking asshole.”
