To send a letter back to school with DD's name corrected?

[MarioandLuigi]

DD came home from school with a letter today and her name has been spelt wrong. The letter has to go back so would it be wrong of me to cross it out and put the correct spelling? I am not a massive pedant and spelling mistakes dont usually bother me, but this is the 3rd time its happened and I had to say something about her peg badge being spelt wrong.

Its not a kerazy spelling or anything, although it is a traditional Irish name and we are in England.

YANBU. My daughter has a christian name and middle name that, for some reason, many people hyphenate as if both are her christian name. It drives me bonkers, but I just cross out the middle name on things they've written, or tell them straight that x is actually her middle name, not an add-on to her first name!

Oh yes...I would put in a big K in red MAvis.

That's utterly crap and worries me about how well these teachers are taught!

YADNBU I hate this - my ds always gets his name spelt with E instead of A no matter how many bloody times i tell them

It was wrong on the official record when he first started so i asked them nicely to change it
Then a few letters would come home so Id mention it to the teachers and they were changed.
Then we have work up in the hall that he has done and his name is wrong so I point them out and make them change it.
Or as last week his name was spelt wrong on his homework sheet - I cross it out and right in correctly underneath
I dread next year when DS3 goes to school as his name is Irish spelling which will confuse them
Ive even had dinnerladies calling him the wrong name - even though Im stood there correcting them - they continued until my DS said MY NAME IS NOT ITS * i think she got the message then

I went to a Steiner school, where kids routinely aren't taught to read/write until they're 7. My brother taught me to read when he learned (I was 4, I think) and I was a real bookworm. So by the age of 8 or 9 I regularly corrected my teacher's blackboard spelling or punctuation.

I am still grateful for the fact that she was so graceful about it at the time

DD's name is always wrongly spelled. There is only one way to spell the name, it's not outlandish, just a good old fashioned well known name. And it comes home with two tts on the end every single time. Drives me insane.

I'd just correct the spelling and send the letter back. We have a similar problem with people not only spelling my ds's name wrong but pronouncing it incorrectly and never the same twice. its irish but not really an odd spelling. i'm surprised the little lad knows what his real name is

When my middle child started in Reception they were asked to write about what the did at the weekend, when she copied it out underneath the teacher writing she corrected her brother's name from a 'y' in it to the correct 'i', the teacher marked it wrong! She was an Aug birthday and this was only a couple of months into Reception. When I pointed it out at parents evening the teacher apologised.

Mind you its nothing compared to always having to say that my eldest's name is spelt the scandinavian way, so its really not that unusal!

Good God, I am seriously wondering if I should even bother sending DS to primary school.
