[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would write a letter to the teacher and cc the principal.  Explain that you are disappointed that after you had discussed this with her once before and that since your daughter corrects her everyday that you feel it is extremely disrespectful and unprofessional for this teacher to continue to call your child the wrong name.  Reiterate that this is hurting your child's feelings and self-image and that teachers need to be a positive influence on their students, not a negative one.  Say that you expect her to be more respectful and call your child by the correct name or your next step will be to lodge a complaint with both the teacher's union and the school board.[/quote]

Elementary school principal here-- Do not do this.  Yet.  Have the face to face conversation.  Follow 23:20's suggestions.  THEN if the problem continues, bring in the principal.  Cite the face to face conversation as in "We met on October 3rd, and I shared that she was continually calling Susan by the name "Mary." It's been over a week, and the problem is continuing.  it's not okay for my daughter to be called a name other than her own.  She feels ignored."

Please do not say your next step is to lodge a complaint.  Give the principal a chance to resolve it if the teacher doesn't correct it on her own.  Your first interaction with the principal should not include threats to "lodge a complaint". You'll come off as crazy and more importantly, is that really your first "go to" in problem solving? A threat?

Good luck OP. [/quote]
