[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is at an independent K-8 and one of the things I value is the frequency of public speaking, theater productions, and poster presentations. My kid has gained a lot of confidence.

Certainly you can accomplish this by supplementing, or you can go to private and still not find it in your school. But I do appreciate that it's part of the curriculum. [/quote]

This is something that I have appreciated about my kids' public ES (AAP in FCPS) which is different from both my private ES growing up and my husband's public ES growing up.  I think there are a lot more public presentations in ES than ever before.  For in school presentations, my kid has gotten regular rubric feedback with scores on presentation style (e.g., eye contact, speaking pace, volume and tone, nonverbal communication) as well as ratings on the visual communication of the materials and the content of the presentation.  They've also had a number of more public presentation opportunities (theater, science fair, STEAM demos etc).[/quote]
