My experience with teaching and stuttering for 3 years (A bit long + venting)

My experience with teaching and stuttering for 3 years (A bit long + venting) Hi, I’m 28 years old and have been stuttering since I was a child. I work as an English teacher in my country. Although I had some serious concerns before starting this profession due to my stutter, I do mostly OK now. The kids are sometimes cruel especially at the beginning, but they later get used to it throughout the year. What disappointed me is that teaching didn’t help me reduce my stutter at all contrary to what I had expected. My expectation was that having a job that involves a lot of talking would benefit me. This is how my dad, who is also a teacher with +30 years of experience and has a minor stutter now, was able to control it over time -at least. In my case, on the other hand, my stutter never improved since working with Gen Z is quite challenging, which skyrockets my stres levels. During class time, I’m usually angry and tense due to the behavioral problems of students. God, some of them keep doing the same thing again and again no matter what I tried (e.g. talking to their parents, referral to admin etc). I’m %100 sure that what they do isn’t due to my stuttering at all since they misbehave in the other teachers’ classes, too. I feel that this constant feeling of anger and stress 5 days of every week worsens my stutter let alone improve it. Due to the economic problems in my country, it’s not possible for me to quit and try another line of career. I had always expected that getting my shit together and having a stable life would also reduce my stuttering in the end. Well, the end result is a disappointment, I guess…
