I’m sure it’s not, but I’d like to give the benefit of the doubt that the Yearbook Adviser just had the names auto-import from the district database and didn’t change to nicknames or names students go by. It’s a big job to go through a thousand names and make change those that are wrong. Using the registered name is usually a safe bet.
How about ask the fucking kids what they want in the yearbook just like they do for graduation ceremonies you fucking absolute moron.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Dog the school is working to fix it. Why would you be so toxic to someone trying to give the benefit of the doubt to people we already know are overworked and underpaid?
We had this when I was in high school over 20 years ago… You filled out a card on picture day with the name you wanted in the yearbook
That’s pretty smart. My school just used whatever name you had on file and if you wanted something different you had to let the vice principal know on picture day. She was sitting next to the photographer because she was also the librarian and that’s where we took the pics.
Looking at your post history, you seem to often add valuable insights to the stuff posted on Lemmy.
Do you have an efficient way to accurately use the method you’re describing? Teachers literally never finish everything that’s dumped on their plate in a year, and publishing a book with the memories of a thousand people is already a monstrous undertaking.
Let’s shame those who look to harm others, but if someone has made a mistake, let’s help them grow to be a part of making this world a better place.
Everyone who appears in a yearbook typically has a special photo taken for it. It would not be that hard to take a moment at that time to check whether the student has a preferred name
How would you ask the students?
The portraits are usually done by a third party photography company, and schools aren’t going to pay extra to have that company ask.
When I was in school, we had to submit a form to the yearbook community with the proper spelling of our name every year
Was it mostly successful? I fell like wrong names or spellings in yearbooks is pretty common.
Fuck your feelings
Yeah, the school has around 1500 kids, so I’m sure you’re right, especially since they took action as soon as they were notified of the mistake.

You ever shop at Albertson’s?
I’m ashamed to say I have, and even worked there.

It wasn’t even just him. Apparently, there were multiple trans students deadnamed. So it’s not just an accident for one person.
