Oratorical Education in School

There are lots of practical education courses our schools don’t teach.

Example: President Obama has much to do with the state of our business and financial climate because of his constant formal speeches. He appears to be vying with the status of ancient Roman senators who stood around in togas making speeches.

Interestingly, they did so without the use of teleprompters. He does it differently with his ever-ready teleprompter, even when addressing children.

I would think that schools today ought to include courses on orating and debating, in addition to their regular curricula. The ability to think on your feet without having something to read from in front of you, other than note outlines, would be a benefit to all. ( See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
