[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A name is identity. Would you be okay with deadnaming a trans kid because it is "minor?" Maybe it isn't important to YOU, and for you it's a minor thing, but for some people it absolutely isn't.[/quote] +1[/quote] No what I am saying is teachers are human and make mistakes. My daughter 8 weeks into term was called a totally different name. Think Abigail instead of Charlotte and kept insisting she was Abigail. Did I tell my dd it was because her teacher didnt like her? No, I told her it meant her teacher had over 500 kids. My name is always always misspelled. It means nothing. Tell your kid to politely correct and move on.[/quote] I'm usually accused of being a teacher apologist on this board, but seriously, "human and make mistakes?" It's almost April. If you can't learn your students' names and correct your "mistake" in [b]nine months[/b], you're not making enough of an effort.[/quote]
