School of Rahm: What Can the Mayor Teach You?
By Samantha Abernethy in News on Oct 12, 2011 10:00PM
Local startup company Dabble wants Rahm Emanuel to teach a class for them. Dabble offers courses for people who want to learn a new hobby or skill, like fencing, knitting, salsa dancing or composting. Dabble's instructors could be anyone who has a skill to share.
Through their "Learn From" initiative, Dabble is reaching out to community leaders to ask them to teach a course, and they've set their sights on Emanuel. In the video at the bottom of this post, Dabble is asking folks around town what they think Emanuel could teach them. They range from public speaking to swimming, and those would certainly be interesting, but here are some of the courses we'd want to take:
