I avoid this subreddit actually most of the times because I don't want to be confronted with my "issue", I subscribed a long time ago when I was just new to reddit, but this came floating to my front page, and being a tutor, I stand in a new high school every single week; I give exam trainings, and being a tutor I have to make a new impression every single time. I handle it like I actually handle my stutter; Don't give a fuck at all. If you don't focus on it, no one does. You can stutter all you want but people actually hardly ever actually actively notice it. Also, respect is something you get by being a good teacher. Something simple as stuttering is not going to disregard that. When I notice someone texting a lot, I go up to them, quietly whisper to them "You know you can answer those texts later too right?", and they slide their phone back in their pockets. No need for making a fuss out of it, or play it all high up and take it away. That actually lowers your "power" rather than amplify it. Most important thing is a healthy class atmosphere. Also in high school, NEVER take anything said to you too seriously. If you want to be a teacher, certainly go for it, stuttering is hardly a factor; but I can tell you that the educational world has other problems that it makes me not wanting to get further involved into it rather than the sidejob it is now for me.
