if its something like phutella or pherdenane then I understand But if its like Emma then ur teachers stupid!

I'm really trying to give your teacher the benefit of the doubt... There are some names that I just simply can't pronounce right, no matter how hard I try, but that's because of my accent. It makes it tough to pronounce certain words (like error or mirror. I avoid those words like the plague). But then again, if I was in that situation, I'd either call you a decent nickname or at least give you good participation grades... Sounds like your teacher is just a dick...

i feel u bro, my last name is scapachini

it's okay. it happens to me too. and for the other people commenting, it doesn't have to be a last name. maybe the person was referring to her first name.

That's a stupid reason to be grounded for.
