WHATSHERFACE's blog: "Pronounce this..."

To My Friends in the field of education, I know you would appreciate this one.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

How would you pronounce this child's name? 



                   Le-a

Leah??          NO
                                   
Lee - A??       NO
                                    
Lay - a??       NOPE
                                           
Lei??             Guess Again.

   

This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA.  Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.

It's pronounced "Ledasha".

When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."   


SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce the dash.


If they axe you why, tell them the dash don't be silent :- ).
