I definitely can empathize with this podcast. I know that my name is east but yet some people still choose to change it how they want to say it. This has always made me want to ask kids or apologize in advance so that I can be sure to try and get it right. And getting it right the first time doesn’t always happen. But the tips for writing the phonetic name next to it is exactly what I will do. More people need to listen to this. I hope she puts out more podcasts that are relatable for all teachers.
