[quote=Anonymous] I grew up with an ethnic last name in the rural Midwest. I dreaded the first day of school from 7-12 grades. It was annoying to tell every teacher (except my Spanish teacher) how to pronounce my name. I never took it as a micoragression or racism. That is a big leap. Most people are doing the best they can do with what they’ve been given. If this bothers your child, and it is understandable if it does, then please email the teacher again. I know I have misspelled and mispronounced (despite my best efforts) student’s names before. It has never one time been intentional and I’ve always made every effort to fix the mistake. I don’t think I’ve ever continued to make this mistake this late into the school year. If I had, I would hope for the parent to kindly remind me again rather than rant on an anonymous board. [/quote]
