Dad Corrects Teacher on Daughter’s Name, School Fights Back

Imagine your child’s teacher repeatedly mispronouncing their name, even after being corrected multiple times. This is the frustrating situation one dad found himself in when his 7-year-old daughter’s teacher kept calling her Kelly instead of Keeley. Despite his daughter’s attempts to correct the teacher and an email from the dad, the teacher persisted in her error. The dad finally stepped in during a virtual class, only to be called in for a parent-teacher conference with the vice principal. The school’s response? They claimed the dad challenged the teacher’s authority and that the names were “similar enough” to not warrant such drastic action.
