A mom was left in tears after a school teacher made fun of her son's name and said that it was for a dog and not a little boy. As reported by <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/mum-burst-tears-after-teacher-28006118">The Mirror</a>, the doting parent said she no longer wants the teacher around her son and is currently thinking about reporting the educator to the school's headmaster. The incident happened while the mom's sister collected the four-year-old from school because she had to go to her dentist appointment. The sister explained that she overheard the teacher's entire conversation about the boy's name and echoed it back to the mother as soon as she dropped her nephew off at home. <img class="wp-image-1263189841 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/01/W8GH5R-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="2412" />[[imagecaption|| The aunt overheard the teacher's comment after school.

"He was excited about going to school. He really enjoyed nursery and made a lot of friends, who he always speaks about and wants to hang out with after school," she continued. The aunt revealed that the parent put special effort into prepping for his first year by buying a lunch box and school uniform, adding that the boy "really enjoyed his first week" and "said he really liked his new teacher". However, when she stood outside the school gates to pick up her nephew and her own kids, she unintentionally eavesdropped on a conversation with two teachers in a classroom. "Everybody was now with their parents and the teachers had gone back inside the classroom but they left the door and windows open and I could just about hear their conversation," she explained. "I overheard them talking about the children in their classrooms and whether any of them are 'bad', and I overheard my nephew's teacher say 'no but one of mine has a dog's name,'" the aunt added. <img class="wp-image-1263189843 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/01/E9WMM1-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1704" />[[imagecaption|| The teacher said that Benji is a dog's name.

As soon as she arrived at Benji's mom's house, she told her about the entire situation and said that her sister ended up crying. "I told her straight away and she burst out into tears. She is now thinking about going in and speaking to the head about it. But she is not at all confrontational so she is still in two minds about this. She is distraught. I feel so bad for her," she said. What do you guys think the mother should do after this situation? Comment down below! <h6>Featured image credit: New England Pix / Alamy</h6>
