[quote=Anonymous]Don't call, email so there is a paper trail. Ask in a non threatening way if there as been a mix up on her roster because she is not calling your daughter by her given name. There is no excuse for calling her by the wrong name. I would talk to your child and tell her not to respond to the teacher if she is not called by her name. So if the teacher tells her, "Susan come pass out papers" tell her NOT to get up or respond. Tell your child that you will support her even if she gets in trouble with the teacher. My husband teaches middle school and has 166 students. After the third week of school if he calls a student by the wrong name he gives them a mini candy bar. It motivates him to learn their names and it makes the quieter kids feel better when he messes up. After the first six weeks he rarely messes up, although occasionally he has problems calling students by their older sibling's name, if he taught the older sibling of the same gender in previous years.
