Imagine a teacher long, long ago, attempting to properly pronounce little Martin Stuible’s last name on that first day of the new school year. Or Roy Junior watching his brother being sent to the office for the third time in a week over the simple switching of two letters. Or a teacher trying to name their own child with a name that does not trigger PTSD. These are the challenges of learning the names of the students in your class at this time of year. Names are seldom phonetic and this episode takes a humorous look at the challenges of a teacher trying to get it right. What’s in a name? Just ask the residents of Dildo, Newfoundland.
