Grrrr....Teacher Vent

[#1hockeymom]

No one feels sorry for her. We just agree that her son has a right to be called by his middle name.

The reason I suggest that you are a troll is that your post numbers are quite low and it would appear that the last 20 have been here.

As I suggested earlier, you are uninformed about the legalities of your (supposed) profession if you think that in this day and age of teacher accountability, a teacher could deduct points for behavior or grade on participation without some point of reference as to what defines participation. Yet you have avoided responding to the facts, and have only defended the teacher's right to call a student by his first name, against that student and student's parent's wishes.

Your arguments are based on fallacies and generalizations, and quite frankly, your claim to be a teacher lends support to the masses who think we are everything you seem to represent.

Great post!

almost everyone in my dad's family went by their middle name. their first name was "after" someone, but the middle name was what they were to be called by
I am going to talk nicknames now. My real name is Diane, but I didn't know it until I was about 6(?). I went to a small school, church affiliated, and grandpa was the pastor, and EVERYONE called me SMidge or Smidgy. all through grammar school, no one called me diane. in high school, most did, but once teachers got to know me, they just called me smidge. cause that's what everyone knew me by.
legal middle name, nickname... unless it's vulgar or something, call the kid what he wants to be called.

by the way, what's a TROLL?
