[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love teachers, and I know it’s been a long, hard year so far. I know my kid’s “foreign” name is not one you’re used to. But it’s mid-March! Can you spell the name correctly already?!? It means a lot to my child and when you get it wrong, they think you don’t care enough to try to get it right, no matter how much I try to reassure them.

Thanks for listening and maybe being a tiny bit more careful. [/quote]

I have a very basic name not complicated at all and people misspell it all the time!  This is from family members as well as strangers.  Misspelling a name does not mean your teachers don't care.  Try to be less sensitive and let it roll off their backs.    This is such small potatoes.  [/quote]

It is NOT SMALL POTATOES a persons name is their identity. [/quote]

Resiliency is an important skill set.  Teaching your kid that their name is their identity and a misspelling or a mispronunciation means they are not cared for is a huge mistake and sets your kid up for difficulties in life.  Far better to teach them that people are imperfect and mistakes will be made, and things like that do not change who they are or their value in this world.  [/quote]
