Psst... Hey Coach

This morning I heard a piece on the radio about how Virgin Atlantic has hired a "whispering coach" to teach their staff in the "Upper Class" how to speak at between 20 and 30 decibels, a level chosen for both its calming effect and its unlikeliness to disturb other passengers.

I think there might be a place in middle school for such a professional.

  3. Hmmm, I'd say hire them, but don't expect miracles! Really, though, do we want it to be quiet?

  4. Yes, I want them to be quiet, actually. Quiet is nice...sometimes, at least.
