[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:
[quote]"I'm actually a little pissed off. I don't mind people naming their kids whatever they want, but this smacks of ignorance and disrespect.

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]

[b]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. [/b] [/quote]

OP, is basically trying to use her religion to discriminated against this child.  OP, if your religion is preventing you from giving this child respect by calling her name, then please leave the teaching profession.   There are already far too many bigots hiding behind religion, culture, politics, etc. in the teaching  field.  Schools don't need any more.  Your religion has no place in public school education!  If you can not embrace this child's name, then you really need to take a deep look at yourself.  I swear schools need to start conducting bigot evaluations to weed out the bad teachers.
