Sooo, why did she wait for the end of the school year to correct you?
If she didn't care all year I don't see the problem. YDI for whining
I don't think that's your fault. Should have corrected you sooner. Damn kids, be gone!
I'm sure she didn't. this happened to me. you tell them again and again but then you give up because they just dint get it. my name is rimshah. it's pronounced just the way it's spelled yet iv been called amsham, rinshaw and ramshin.
Well it seems that OP actually was willing to make an effort, so I'm just assuming that she didn't tell him. He seemed pretty bummed to hear that he had it wrong.
It doesn't always matter whether or not you correct them. My 8th grade science teacher pronounced mine wrong the whole year and I corrected her almost everyday.
Well, you have to remember that the teacher has 100+ students, depending on what grade and class they teach. I'm not saying that the teacher shouldn't pay attention to the people they teach, but it's inevitable that a teacher won't remember every single one of her students ALL the time. They should make an effort though.
I corrected my Spanish teacher almost every day last year, but she still called me Ashley instead of Ashlyn. The N is not silent...
Every teacher I've ever had has asked me about correct pronunciation the first time they met me. If he said it wrong all year, obviously he said it more than once & she had the opportunity to correct him. I've known some kids who are assholes & waited until the last day to purposely make the teacher feel bad.
That's the students fault, not the OP's fault. My name is Adesuwa (add-a-sue-wa) and people pronounce it wrong all the time (a-day, Addie, add-e-wa-si, etc) all you have to do is correct them a couple times... If the student didn't like how you were pronouncing their name, they should've mentioned it right from the beginning of the year.
Because It's A) Funner Seeing The Teacher Sound Stupid To Your Friends Or B) She's Too Shy. Like Me.
Almost all my teachers say my name wrong. They pronounce it Fell-ee-see-uh instead of Fuh-lee-shuh. I corrected each one multiple times, and most of them got it, but there are still a few that pronounce it wrong every day.
My last day of school is soon, and I was thinking of telling all of my teachers how to say may name because they all say it differently. Only reason I'm waiting is because I feel rude when I correct them.
My friend Rhys (pronounced Reece) has tricked my music teacher into thinking its pronounce Rise. Its pretty common for kids to try to trick teachers on names.
Thanks, Captain Obvious! Your job here is done.
8- Yeah, in a rude way.
Oi vey. I was blunt. Give me a death sentence for being sarcastic, will ye?
22, I've no idea what you're on about, mate.
That's what I said >:|
Let's stop calling each other names. It results in a bunch of thumbs down.
Well that's her fault for not telling you at the beginning of the year
TWO captains? Wow. It's a miracle!
Theres nothing wrong with her comment.
I didn't see the other comments before I wrote that...
I guess I'm captain obvious as well... Oh well, rather obviously then a trolling douche bag.
Trolling? Hmph.
I wish you would get over yourself, 62. It's not that obvious that OP doesn't deserve it if the FYL's and YDI's are almost the exact same.
65, because those are so accurate.
At least...
She can have her next school year
wow. she must have wanted to make you feel like a total shitbag.
would that make her the shitbag for making him feel like one? suspense!
Yeah she's weird for not correcting you sooner. She just wanted to make you feel bad on the last day. What a bitch that student is. Well sounds like she could be from my school.
Well really guys, she probably waited till the end of the year to tell OP so she could laugh with her friends about OP always mispronouncing her name. Think teenagers, guys.
If she wanted you to pronounce it right she would have done after you said it wrong the first time.
That was deliberate on the student's part. I remember when I was in high school, a lot of my friends talked about the things they were going to do or say to people on the very last day. Only something like 10% of them ever went through with it. And if you're a teacher who's been around a while, you've had to remember hundreds of names by now. One out of that many isn't bad. Especially when it's not your fault.
Meh. No point now really... Why remember just to forget? It's summer break now, and who knows if you'll see her again next year?
Not your fault, OP. Similar situations have happened to me with my students. If I see a name that I'm even a little uncertain about now, I always ask for the pronunciation right away.
My name is Elise. People always spell it as Elisa or pronounce it as Elsee.

It's not your fault. She should've corrected you.
