This substitute teacher’s roll call is a masterpiece of mispronunciation. She said one name after another wrong and did so in the most hilariously funny way possible. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear how this fill-in teacher said these common names so very wrong.

Teaching is a critically important position. Those men and women are working with and touching young lives every single day. What they say, do and how they act in the classroom could have repercussions for years to come. Those educators are forming and shaping the next generation. That is a lot of responsibility, for sure.

On any given day, a teacher has a variety of tasks. Of course, one of the first things a teacher must do is conduct roll call to find out who is present and who is not. It seems only logical to start the day off by taking attendance. Now, taking attendance works much better if the teacher can pronounce the students’ names. When the educator can’t do that, well, students are likely in for a rough day.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a substitute teacher, who is filling in for a fifth-grade class, struggles to pronounce the kids’ names. But don’t worry, she gets corrected each time, loudly, and with plenty of laughs.

Now, of course, she’s doing this on purpose, trying to have some fun with the students as they begin their day. She knows the right way to say “Nichole” and “Solomon.” Who doesn’t want to start the day off with a laugh or two?

Of course, the teacher’s hilarious mispronunciation reminds me of the classic sketch from the Comedy Central show “Key & Peele.” In the skit, a substitute teacher is going through attendance, and as he reads the list of names, each one he says is said more wrong than the one before it. The students correct him, and he grows angrier as they continue to correct his mispronunciations.

James 3:1 “Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more harshly than others.”
