Public reading is a form of public speaking. If you know good from bad, then you are able to perform the good way...assuming you can actually read well enough to speak the words with feeling....

Which means, you have to talk with feeling. Which means you have to be allowed to talk.

Which means, you have to have practice and opportunity and an audience.

Now tell me, is any public school set up for any of this? Anyone? Bueller?
