Why do I teach a child named Hennesey? And this is no lie, her sister is Alize. (but it's pronounced Alice.. ) Their mama wanted them to have "French" sounding names.... I just hung my head down at the parent/teacher conference. Can you imagine me calling the roll? "Hennesey, has anyone seen Hennesey?" "I need Hennesey! Where is Hennesey?!!" Just shameful

A couple of years ago, my cousin told me about one of her clients who is an elementary school teacher who had three students in one class with crazy names. She had a set of twins in the class -- Oranjello (pronounced o-RAHN-jel-lo) and Lemonjello (pronounced leh-MAHN-jel-lo). And here's the worst...she had a student named Shi**head, and his mother pronounced it (sheh-THEED) .

What is wrong with some of these parents?????
