A few years ago, my students matriculated through 2 days of student presentations. IT WAS PAINFUL! I was bored! They were bored! The novelty wore off after about 3 presentations. It wasn't that there weren't some good ones...there were, but many were low energy, filled with endless bullet points, and were rehashing tired topics. Once a student gave their presentation or grasped a concept, they had little incentive to listen to the next gabfest. I vowed I wasn't going to do this to my kids again!
