(That article really stirred something up) And another thing...

Posted by Reagen Sep 14 '18, 15:03

anxiety is, in many ways, a fear of failure. Guess what - being good at failing is a skill. Not that you want to fail, but you are going to, and the ability to process that and move past it is something that you need to be able to do. I have failed at multiple, big things in my adult life, which may or may not have included a number grade involved with them, but they were failures. And I picked myself up, improved and did it right the next time.

This right here is the story of my forties - con_carne Sep 14, 16:19 1
- I taught myself to quite enjoy public speaking...then saw a video of one of my presentations :-) -- nm - Meg Sep 14, 16:41
My issue with oral presentation is I always felt like we were graded on how good we were at it, but we were never taught - Guigue Sep 14, 15:28 4
- There are outcomes in most curriculums about communication. - Reagen Sep 14, 15:34 2
  - I fell like English (or French in my case) would have been a good opportunity, but they just sent us in front of the class the most without teaching - Guigue Sep 14, 15:38 1
    - 1) There's no scientist that doesn't have to present - Reagen Sep 14, 15:45
- The techniques of how to do that should be taught as well -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 15:31
And the one kid’s comment that they shouldn’t be made to do something uncomfortable was just ridiculous. -- nm - znufrii, promoted Sep 14, 15:24
I agree wholeheartedly. I think it is a good thing to have to experience. -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 15:09 1
- Also, in addition to public speaking, kids need to learn how to swim. Weird segue, but I feel strongly about that -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 15:11
