Thanks, I didn't have much time for practice, but I did what I could do. There weren't as many people as I expected. When I started with the presentation I stuttered a lot, but as the time went by I s...

Teaching with a stutter, thoughts?

Teaching with a stutter, thoughts? I've stuttered and blocked my entire life. I'll save you most of the pity party and simply say that it has negatively effected virtually every aspect of my life for ...
