How could I become a better public speaker?
Q. I've read many tips on how to be a better public speaker, and they all basically say 'relax'. But I'm not the type of person who could easily relax. I get easily tensed. What do you think I should do to improve?

A. Are you serious? A company invests its own money in a risky marketplace to gather and market and present information and you think they don't deserve to be paid for it? Then go invest your money in getting the information you want, the same way they did. Sounds like you only need a small subset of it, go get to work, it shouldn't be so hard, right? Or is your time worth something and theirs isn't?

What is the transition from home school to public school like?

A. I have recently made friends with a homeschooling family, and also judged a debate competition for homeschoolers and got to know some of the kids. Here is what they told me about dealing with the large groups necessitated by the competition (which is similar to school) and how they felt socially in other circumstances when with non-homeschooled kids.

Several commented to me that they found it strange that public school… [cont.]
