Have You Ever Given A Speech in Front of a Crowd of People?

Experts say that “public speaking” is feared more than DEATH by some people. I say that if that were true, there should be more emphasis on public speaking in elementary and high school. Children should be taught from an early age to speak publicly, I think. And if it isn’t offered at school, then parents should teach their children to speak on various subjects. Giving oral book reports is one of the ways I learned to speak publicly in school. In some high schools now there are actually SPEECH classes offered. My school did not have this class. Parents can do a lot though to remedy this fear for their children IF they teach their children to speak publicly. Then, when they become adults and are looking for a job, they will be able to present their bid for a job intelligently. And they will not have this FEAR of speaking in public. There’s an ancient proverb that says: “Train up a child according to the way for him, even when he grows old, he will not turn aside from it.”
