Joona, or should we say ‘June’, found herself in the middle of a school-wide controversy, all because of her uniquely pronounced name. With the teacher blaming her for the loss and her own family questioning her actions, the question remains: was she in the wrong? Or was it a lesson well-learned for the teacher?

Empowering moment when coworkers defend unique name in work meeting.

“NTA You didn’t make this mess. Your teacher failed to learn your name properly and paid the price for it. Perhaps she’ll have more respect for students in the future. You remind me of a brand new history teacher I had in high school who insisted on calling everybody by their last names because it showed respect for our educations. This very self-righteously explained plan fell apart fast. My last name is a common boy’s first name that two boys in the class had and would reflexively answer to. Another girl in the class’s last name is the same as a particularly disgusting insect. A third girl shared a last name with an unpleasant euphemism for a sex worker. One of the boys had a last name that couldn’t be said on network television during the family hour (he was foreign and it meant something totally different in his language). We also had three kids in my class who shared a very common last name in my town (she’s lucky it wasn’t more than three). There was a lot of snickering and mocking. Many parents complained. The vice-principal sat in on a class and nearly turned purple trying not to laugh as all of us with troublesome names were the only ones who raised our hands that hour. She was ordered to use preferred names after that. The girl with the insect-based last name was goth and decided she enjoyed making teachers super uncomfortable. For the rest of high school she went by her last name. Just call kids by whatever name they commonly use. It’s easier for everybody and nobody winds up looking like a fool.”
