Personally, I think it's a noble topic, and one worth considering. Best of luck to you!

Guess I'm one of the ones who makes up the smaller percent of those who don't mind it.

I've been a reader and teacher off and on at Church for many yearas now, and you get over being bothered by people following your every word pretty quickly! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]
I remember in our theater classes in College- we used to have to do individual and group presentations and I really liked that part of the class once I had a topic chosen or plan of action.
Here at work, I used to have to address groups of HS students visiting us for Spoken Russian competitions each spring and there could be anywhere from 300-600 of them plus the chaperones and teachers.
Just think of it as a one on one event, it goes pretty smoothly!
good luck, Moni!
