I answer a question on Quora

A criticism and A answer,
Toastmasters, in my opinion, has never had a vision for the future as far as kids go? That is under 18 years of age. You must be eighteen to join Toastmasters.

In 2007 I created Youth Speaking to America ( YSTA ) in Florida. Other than a club donating Youth Leadership manuals, there was zero support from the organization. I was treated as an outsider because of YSTA, of course, dissenters never read the comments by the kids on my website, or ever attended one of our contest/graduations.

Interestingly this outsider only uses Toastmaster manuals and training.
Sathyamurthy Ramanujam, here mentioned Gavel Clubs, they are not for kids.
One thing I do know the hundreds of kids that participated in my 18 YLPs know exactly what Toastmasters is. So when they grow older and this public speaking thing enters the room again; where will they go, Toastmasters.

An answer:
Toastmasters could double its membership by creating a YLP with different school systems around the world. Example, Toastmasters may do YLP as a goal at the Silver Level, towards becoming a DTM ( Distinguished Toastmaster ).
With Toastmasters providing the teachers, they together with the school system could require a student to participate one time from 5th to 12th grade, at that school.

Are there Toastmasters for kids where you live, I doubt it.

With technology like Artificial Intelligence, and machine learning changing our lives, who will be in charge ( our kids ).

So how important are public speaking skills I ask you?

Inbox x Chapter # 1 Watching race # 3 of the 2018 Outdoor motocross Series Thunder Valley Motocross in Colorado, the track reminded me of the early days at Unadilla Valley N. Y.

What the HELL is political correctness?

This morning on Facebook I saw a story about no more Chef Wahoo,  why stop there? Let's just eliminate all sports because it may harm someone? Let's be honest, sports are just-just stupid! But why stop there, burn the American flag; ban the Constitution because I guess it's useless? Please write Nike and ask them for a shoe with a picture of Colin Kaepernick, because we must honor our hero.  Better if there is still NFL football, it should be boycotted by the black players because of the brutally created by the NFL and the national anthem! Ok, you insist on watching your team; but to be politically correct team logoed shirts, hats and flags must be burned. Instead, honor our hero Colin Kaepernick by wearing a Che Guevara shirt,   Nike sneakers and honor the great leadership of Fidel Castro. THen you will be politically correct!
