My high-school chemistry/biology teacher: “You stutter because you haven’t studied and so you’re nervous.” I had to be the most prepared student in class for three years, she would always get me a C- with threats of failing me at the end of year and a whole spiel about my stutter, every single time. (I graduated top of class and was very good in all classes other than math so yes, I HAD STUDIED).
