This kid’s not gonna know how to say his own name because every teacher who reads it won’t even try to pronounce it and he’ll learn to say “here” in response to a look of utter confusion
I always knew the teacher got to me when they hesitated. Everyone else they can just rattle off easily but there was always a pause when they got to me.
Lol, my first name is simple but I have a slightly long surname (not even that long, some ppl are just cowardly readers) so I know exactly what the pause sounds like
I'm in a similar boat. My surname is pronounced exactly how it's spelled, but because it's more than eight letters long people just mash it up in their mouth and spit out a clod of consonants.
