I feel like my classmates are not mature enough and will make fun of me, so I will do my best in the real world instead where no one really cares...

I've finished high school last year, when I first came into the school my parents spoke to the principle and guidance Councillor, ever since i never had to read out loud in class, get on to your princ...

Not always a “free pass,” but if you have an IEP (through high school) or have requested accommodations (college), you can definitely have things modified, or made more lenient, whatever. I had quite ...

One needs to give presentation every alternate week in my college. To avoid any losing enough score I inform the invigilator beforehand that I stammer and that I might need more time than my other cla...

It sucks big time. Actually I use the same strategy you did where you spelled out your last name. Congrats on getting through it though, that's high pressure. At some point, you should definitely let...

Not so much a free pass, but if there is a presentation with a strict time limit, I've never had problems before when asking a teacher if they'd be more lenient about that timing because of my stutter...

It’s nice to have a conversation with your teacher if you want to have the practice of reading out loud. Let them know beforehand if they don’t already. If you want shorter paragraphs/pages I’m sure t...

Haha last year, I played the mental health card to get out of a big presentation so I guess it’s time to be honest 😔...

Yeah I hesitated to ask as well but I want to play this stutterer card this year to make this last year a little more enjoyable, and I feel like we’re playing live in the hardcore mode so might as wel...

I want to ask but I don’t really want to be treated differently just because of my stutter and make it really obvious I have a stutter, especially since my school is so judgmental unfortunately...

Last year when I told my teacher my situation, she said that I don't have to worry about it, and when it was time to do the presentation she gave me the full grade and I didn't have to do it so she wa...

I’m going to senior year too!! I’m so scared off presentations as well, may I ask how your teachers replied? Maybe I can do the same thing...

My teacher said we’re gonna read in class so I guess it applies to everyone which scares me but I’m trying to make my senior year a little bit better so I decided to talk with every teacher I have thi...

Thank you for the advice!! I’m a senior in high school so I just want to survive this year without embarrassing myself, I think I will try to ask the teacher maybe she will understand my situation but...

Depends on your age. In High / Secondary school, you can get away with murder. Ask the teacher to excuse you from speaking in front of the class. If that fails, ask the counselor. And so on up the ch...

As far as presentations…Not really. At least not in my experience after elementary school. It’s part of the grade. I had to learn to calm myself and keep my speech under control (practicing infront of...

I guess it maybe depends upon if you have claimed a disability upon application? And the subject. During my engineering apprenticeship we had to do lots of presentations (which I weirdly don’t struggl...

Free pass in school

Free pass in school Does anyone know if there is a chance for stutterers to get a “free pass” in school from reading out loud or doing presentations?...

Hi! I’ve been stuttering since I was 7 and have a degree in Foreign Languages. So I definitely have experience taking language classes with a stutter. I did contact the disability office, cause it’s a...

You're doing fine. My step father was a complete arsehole about it, I'd string a few words together at speech therapy (as a six or seven year old) then go home stutter most words and get berated, as t...
