I know this is a bit tangential, but my 2nd grader has had a string of "public speaking" assignments and it struck me as being odd (ie 7yo is kinda young for something like that). But apparently it is a bit of a trend in schools and they very much do it that early on purpose. It builds up confidence slowly before social awareness really kicks in. I thought it was a brilliant idea.
- philwelch 8y agoI'm told that most people fear public speaking more than they fear death. I'm not wired that way[1], but it seems like a logical thing to help people overcome at a young age.
