Anon introduces himself

I absolutely hate those “let’s go around the circle and introduce ourselves” exercises. Making children do them seems especially cruel.

Don’t you think it’s good to train children to be able to talk to strangers and introduce themselves? I know it’s stressful but I think it is useful.

It’s not training though, you get thrown into the real thing immediately that decides the rest of your social time at school.

If you were encouraged and made to practice in private before, then I would agree with you.

Aren’t you exaggerating a little? Kids get to know each other better with time too.

Agreed with doing it with guidance and feedback.
