Speech class seems to be required to graduate. I'm currently attempting to take it, but it's not going well. To be blunt, the teacher is both condescending and hyper critical. I'm not afraid of speaking in public, however, I cannot connect with an audience emotionally, or at least not the way she requires me to. It's just not possible for me. I've seen far too much death. I know how fragile humans are. Even though, I've had years of therapy, but I simply cannot open up to strangers. I explained it to her, but still she insists on demanding that I show more emotion and enthusiasm. Is there anyway I can get exempt from Speech Class?
