At least Tesla can spell Tesla

What’s the first thing children learn how to spell at school?

Their name.

Now imagine your child has a unique name and someone at school can’t seem to get the spelling right.  Even worse, imagine your spouse has a significant other that is very involved with your child’s life and that person can’t spell your child’s name.

It is a fact, Tesla brings home school papers and SOMEONE is constantly spelling her name wrong.  It’s spelled just like it sounds, so why is this so difficult for an adult to grasp.  Tesla has it down, why can’t her school/dad’s girlfriend, get it right?!

Helpful hints:  She is named after Nikola Tesla.

Nikola Tesla  10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. He was an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity, and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

If that is just to much history to remember, here is another helpful hint:

Tesla is an American hard rock band formed in Sacramento, California in 1984. They have sold 14 million albums in the United States.    The band derived their name, certain album and song titles, and some song content from events relating to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla.

So here are my thoughts:

1. If the teacher/teacher assistant can’t get Tesla’s name spelled correctly, she shouldn’t be attending that school.

2. If Heather can’t spell Tesla’s name….well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Crossing my fingers for a transfer from East York schools to West York schools!
