“His name is NOT Larlo A!”

Just call him full first and last name. You could try to explain that there are two Jacksons in the class, but that would probably be like talking to a brick wall. No need to waste the effort.

I’ve only seen this happen with Nathaniel. All the boys went by Nathan so it was always Nathan A, B and C.

Agree with this. Do this and just fail him if you don't hear back about anything else. There are a lot of sensitivities with names. You hit a nerve somewhere. You should back off gracefully and focus on what's important.

Agree you hit a never, and maybe it’s bothering the kid as well.

My sons teacher started calling him John P in kindergarten and all the kids laughed and made pee jokes. We kindly requested she call him John or John Lastname. Hopefully she didn’t mock me or him on a message board.

In a class with another Larlo?

Is your opinion of children really that low?

If the teacher asks a question and then calls on “Larlo” to answer, how are the two Larlos to know which one is supposed to answer??

It sounds like you’re dealing with quality parents right there.

I had no idea that name was that popular until this year. Was there a celebrity or social media influencer 11-12 years ago?

Did you also ignore multiple emails that John was failing and then only respond to ask the teacher not call him John P? Otherwise, not the same situation.

This is a very legitimate request. If Larlo A's mother could include a reason why Larlo A was not appropriate with a reasonable alternative, I am sure Op would comply happily.

What’s the fault of teacher if there’s more than one kids have same grist name in class so teacher call with last name initial to address them? You don’t need to care about the rude parent attitude.

I mean first name.

Tell mom she has to turn on the video. Are you kidding me? No video and she's screaming at you?

I think this is probably the best advice. Parent must not have grown up with a popular name. My name is Jennifer. I've had as many as 4 Jennifer's in a class growing up (with a couple of Jenny's thrown in) and in some of my classes there were two Jennifer S's.

Yes, I was one of four Sara/hs in an elementary school class. Of course my teachers used my last name initial!

No, fool. I have a kid with the same name as another boy in his class- years and years of being together in the same classes, from kindergarten through high school. They are called Larlo S and Larlo W by virtually everyone they know, including parents. “Low opinion” of children doesn’t enter into the equation and is a ridiculous assertion on your part.
