To mention the constant wrong spelling of my teen Dds name or am I just being petty?

[TooPetty]

My dd is a teen at secondary school. A few weeks ago one of her classes put on a show and it was to encourage the pupils to be as professional as possible, everything was to be perfect etc. On the programme dd's name was spelled incorrectly. Her name has 3 letters and is a standard spelling.

Parents were given feedback forms. I gave really good positive feedback but did mention that dd's name was wrong in the programme.

Next day in class the teacher said to all the pupils that it was nice that everyone's parents gave positive feedback except dd's.

3 times since this the teacher has spelled Dd's name wrong and when dd has mentioned it the teacher has said "oh I wouldn't want your mum to pull me up again"

Teacher seems to be obviously displeased with my feedback. Dd has said it's getting really annoying and she feels it's being done on purpose now.

So parent's night this week, would it be petty to mention it again or let it go and just let dd constantly correct her and get snide comments?

Thanks everyone, not often everyone agrees in aibu!

Parents night is today so I definitely mention and will report back.

I have since learned that the teacher is the head of department so it wouldn't be a case of the hod having brought it up with her.

Thanks again everyone!

Hopefully she will be embarrassed about being pulled up on it and stop

Good luck OP

Spelling Amy as Ami is pretty odd.

Having read this and agreed with so many comments I would like an update after P-eve OP?!
I spell the nickname version of my name, which I am known by, differently to most I know. (I have quite a common name) and it absolutely infuriates me when people reply to my emails with my name at the bottom and spell it wrong. (And you've worked with them for over a year - and your name is also on their footer as you're their pa....)
First, maybe second time, or if it's been a while, I'll laugh it off, but more than that and your being an ignorant arse. My teachers never once got it wrong....

I wouldn't have bothered pointing it out. A typo is a typo, and she was probably typing it at about midnight trying to get it finished. Parents who whinge about insignificant shit is why teachers stop bothering to run extra activities.

Seriously? If you haven't got the wontons to handle being pulled up on a typo, you certainly shouldn't be teaching a class of 30 kids.

How unprofessional of the teacher! I'd raise it with her - not so much the initial spelling error, but her inability to take constructive criticism and singling your DD out in class

^ This in spades. The teacher is being totally unprofessional, very immature and a bit of a bitch to boot so I would def take her to task. If you don't want feedback, don't bloody ask for it.

Anticlimax!

The teacher was off sick so wasn't at parents night! Saw all of the teachers for the other subjects. The head teacher was around but didn't really want to raise it with her. So no update, sorry!

Hopefully the teacher will come back from sick leave nicer!

Wonder if the teacher was really sick or avoiding you op?

It's 3 letters and the standard spelling.

I would ask the teacher why, being a teacher and all, they can't spell a 3 letter name.

In fairness I worked with somebody who spelled her name Ami. It took me ages to remember not to write it as Amy. However the problem here, I feel, is that the teacher is picking on the OP's daughter, making snide remarks and being very unprofessional.

The teacher was off sick so wasn't at parents night!

Although if she is also the HOY then the Head might be the best person to raise it with if you don't get any joy with the teacher if they return. I'm sure they'll be setting up appointments with all the parents that she missed talking too ( again) Somehow I suspect you might not be the only one with an issue with this teacher.

I wonder how many unpaid hours the teacher put into holding this show, drama teachers I have known work very hard around a show time in particular. That she is then off sick is no surprise.
She has handled the spelling issue very badly, but it's no reason to start casting aspersions about whether she is sick at all etc - to miss a parents evening you have to be feeling at death's door.
