Registry on the first day back at school in Birmingham , ENGLAND.
The teacher began calling out the names of the pupils:
“Mustafa Al Eih Zeri ?” – “Here”
“Achmed El Kabul ?” – “Here”
“Fatima Al Hayek ? ” – “Here”
“Ali Abdul Olmi ?” – “Here”
“Mohammed Bin Kadir ?” – “Here”
“Ali Son al En” , silence in the classroom.
“Ali Son al En” – continued silence as everyone looked around the room.
The teacher repeated the call.
A girl stood up and said , “Sorry, teacher. I think that’s me.
It’s pronounced Alison Allen.”
