There are 28 children in my DC's 2d grade class. Some of the names are "unusual," and not simple, easy "nicknames." Yet, our wonderful teacher doesn't seem to have any problems and it's only the 3d week of school. So, it's not an excuse. You call the kid what the parents/kid want her to be called.

You call that "entitlement." I call it calling the child by his/her name.

LOL, the child's name IS Isabella, NOT Bella. You shot down your own argument in your closing line, idiot!

Np here. My friends a teacher and when annoying children come up to asking asking stupid questions like can you please call me Bella she flicks them in the nose really hard. Done end of that the kids are then scared of her. And the principal he is scary too no child wants to go there as he uses a paddle.

Maybe little Bella will get her nose flicked or op her butt paddled.

So I guess your friend subscribes to this teacher's philosophy:

Your friend and the principal should be arrested and both have their licenses license revoked. Who does she think she is?

PARENTS decide what to call a child and how to discipline them. NOT some self-important twit.

Why would they be arrested ? You have never heard of getting spanked in public school? Usually the principal does it but teachers have that authority as well.

I would press charges if someone did this to my kid.

Corporal punishment is illegal in public schools in MD, DC, & VA. Not sure about other states, and not sure about private schools. But your statement above is wrong. And if a school official did such a thing to my child I would absolutely press charges.

Corporal punishment happens everyday in Texas public schools.
