[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the fault of teacher if there’s more than one kids have same grist name in class so teacher call with last name initial to address them? You don’t need to care about the rude parent attitude.[/quote]

Agreed. Parents need to get over themselves.  I had 3 Abbys on year. Abby A, B, and C it was. It was an elementary and I am with these kids for 7 hours a day. We need to find a way to work together as a class that is efficient and effective. Mom needs to get over it.[/quote]

[b]You ask the kids what they want to be called.  [/b]Some may have other nicknames, some may feel strongly about their name.  Ours does for a specific reason.[/quote]

Absolutely. If you’re lucky you get a class where one little girl goes by Abby, one is Abigail and the other Gail. What do you want the teacher to do if all 3 little girls want to be Abby???

You ask if they'd like to pick their own nickname. I have a common name and whenever I need an alternate name due to someone else having the same one, I go by my first and middle name together (my middle name is very short). I know other people who have a family nickname they would choose.

Is it really that hard to understand that a small child would feel a little hurt by this? Kids need to feel seen and recognized by the adults in their lives. This is so basic and I find it weird that so many teachers don't seem to get that. I know it's hard with lots of kids in class and so much on your plate, but it's such a simple thing.[/quote]

Then the parent should offer an alternative that is not just "Larlo". Is it really that hard to understand that the teacher is not psychic?[/quote]
