[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I was a teen in that class, I’d organize everyone to (1) not respond to roll call and (2) call the teacher by his first name. No more “Mr. Wilson”….he will be addressed as “Dan.”

I was soooooo that kid in HS. A little bit of innocent mischief to prove a point. One has to earn respect. [/quote]

It really depends on what part of Texas this is at. No way student athletes are doing that if there is a chance they can be suspended from the football team.

Obviously kids should be called the name they order but sometimes in life you need to pick and choose your battles. I have a very ethnic official first name that I never use. All my teachers in high school used my preferred nickname but one insisted on butchering my legal first name. I cringed every time I was called on and respectfully asked the teacher not to say it to no avail. It wasn’t worth the fight. So getting marked truant because you won’t say present is just a losing battle in some Texas classrooms. The study could say -“present but I prefer you address me as ———“ every single time. [/quote]

I understand why the kid and his family are fighting this battle. The teacher is a bully. The student would rather fail the class on his feet than pass it on his knees. [/quote]
