How do you spell my name?

20 Feb

In a dictation portion of the OC listening exam, the kids had to spell my name*. While grading, I have seen the following:

Loal, Rolo, raureL, rolel, Lallel, lourel, lorel, Loulel, Learle, lualal, Loulo, Rola, Laural, Lurel, Lollel, Morrow, Luarl, Larle, Loulor, raulel, Laulel, Role, Lolor, louler, Morro, Learel, and Boro.

I showed my primary JTE one of the exams. The student had written my name as “Morrow.” To that one, she responded with, “How? I don’t even.. What were they–? Ugh, that’s sooo bad.”

*Note: I told the students repeatedly it would be a question on the exam, as a sort of easy point to be earned. Not so, it turned out.
