This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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

That's just not how people introduce themselves out in the real world though.

Depends how many of these kids will end up in AA meetings

I guess the teachers will just have to make educated guesses based on which students they presume will end up strung out, and then have only those kids practice the introductions.

(But, for real, I've encountered this shit in numerous workplaces)

Yeah, and the people who do it in social situations are usually corporate drones.
