TODAY'S EPISODE - Recorded July 1, 2023  at 9:30am 
This happened to me on or around October 6, 2018.  I was asked to change the name of a sophomore female student to a male student's name. 

One thing not mentioned in the episode.  I find out that the student - her senior year - changed her name back to her birth name.  All that stress / drama.  No "thank you" from the student for working with her issues.  Being support.  Being patient.  WOW! 

We (adults) need to stay in our "lane."  I am a teacher, not a pseudo parent.  I need to stay in my "teacher-lane." 
Parents - there are teachers who do want to support you.  Help your child's teacher! 
Students - I know you want your teachers to be your friends, but why in the world would you want a teacher who is old enough to be your sibling / parent to be your friend?  What does a friend look like to you? 

Thanks for listening to this and other episodes.
