[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers especially need to get it together when it comes to names. I teach high school, and recently wrote down a kids name in front of her - common enough name, unique spelling. Her face absolutely lit up "you spelled it right!! Teachers NEVER spell it right!" It's not that hard to learn a name and spell it correctly. I also always ask if I'm pronouncing it right, and write it down phonetically until I remember it correctly. Basic human respect.[/quote] At my college graduation, they mispronounced my friend's very common Norwegian name, even though she'd included the phonetic spelling. It was almost as if they'd done it deliberately. Thank you for making the effort to get everyone's names right![/quote]
