NOT COOL!

So today was awards ceremony day at my son, Atreides', school.  He has had issue all school year long due to his ADHD/ODD/SPD and has made great strides in improving.  For the last month or so he has pretty much gotten 100% on his spelling tests and improved over 40% on his science and math. (he is in 2nd grade btw). So his teacher, who has had him for an entire year mutilates his name to the point that he doesn't even realize he has been called. His classmates say "I think that's you".  The fact that the other kids had to use the work "I THINK" means they aren't 100% sure, but they are assuming so because it sounds like his nickname "Trey".  She pronounced it "a-TREY NATCH-REENER".  His name is Atreides (atray-deez) Nach (sounds like the composer Bach) Reiner (as in the actor Rob Reiner).  1 year and she couldn't get it right.  I am truly offended and I know my son was hurt. He worked hard and didn't get the full recognition he deserved. The expected him to work his ass of, which he did, yet she couldn't put in the slightest effort to get his name right.  ONE PISSED OFF MOMMY right now. I will be having a talk with his teacher and the principal. We have an IEP (Independent Educational Program) in place for him, and part of that is to boost his self confidence. How is this supposed to help when his own teacher can't even get his name right.

Ok, venting done for the day.
grrrrr
