[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wanted to follow up for those who were curious. The rabbi said that it would be ok to call said student by name. Thanks for encouraging me to call. I feel better going into this with his blessing.

I've got to say, however, that I was really disgusted by all the negative and nasty comments. I don't think it was very nice to jump to conclusions about my character. I was simply trying to gain some perspective. Hopefully you'll think twice before slinging the nasty comments. Or not. Your choice. Thanks to those who showed empathy and gave my quandary some real thought. It was helpful to hear your comments. [/quote]

New poster -

I want to suggest you reflect, especially as a kindergarten teacher.  You did not present yourself as very open minded, willing to adapt, or kind / compassionate. 
To quote you:

I even feel weird writing the word. I don't feel comfortable saying that name outside of prayer. Considering calling her by her last name...Miss ______. WWYD?

How, pray tell, am I hurting her by calling her Miss ( add her last name)? 
?I have rights too, you know.?"[/quote]

She's a FIVE year old.  You're a grown woman.  Think about that.  Come ON.  You really wanted to belittle and dehumanize her.  Get over yourself, or maybe consider a new career.  [/quote]

+1 am Jewish, but come on OP. You are the adult here.[/quote]

You are Jewish, but do you believe it is forbidden to say Adonai in this context?  I assume the answer is no, which makes it much easier for you to say OP should simply be the adult.  But your interpretation as to what is permitted under Jewish law is not binding on OP.

But how Judaism [b]works[/b], is that if they won't say something, they won't write it either... And she had no problem writing it, because she posted it.  SO- she didn't *actually* have a problem saying it...... That's not anyone's interpretation, that's how Jewish law works.  [/quote]
