Should speeches be optional at school?

I am going to talk to you about why school speeches should be optional. I personally hate speeches but I have to do it anyway

Those who are nervous and hate it can choose if there gonna do it or not and those who are really confident.

I mean I personally hate speeches and I don’t like talking to other people apart from my family, friends and teachers.

Maybe the teachers can do speeches as well as us.

What I want to find out is why speeches compulsory?

Publicly speaking is a task that many people fear.

Speeches in school are valuable because they require thought planning practical preparation and a certain amount of courage and public speaking is also always easier when you have practice.

Making a speech is something you have to do quite often every year is annoying because it takes up most of our other learning time like maths, writing.
