I'll give my opinion but please understand that I'm not trying to tell you what **you** should do, just what **I** would do. I don't think you should warn the school ahead of the interview. I think ...

Just get serious to anyone who makes jokes about you. If they continue doing it I don't think it's a bad idea to punch them in the face. It's already kind of fucked up to deal with stuttering. You don...
