How do I respond?

I am trying my best to get my name straightened out here at work. I am about to give up with my former students. They aren't going to change. Besides that name isn't my exhusband's name to them. That is who I am...their former teacher. I teach 2nd graders. The kids will be in this school until 5th grade, so I will have 3 more years of this.

Some of the teachers have made the switch and others have not. Correcting them is getting old. However, this is what I want so I am sticking with it until they get it right. I have been going through my classroom and throwing away anything that had my old name on it. Luckily it isn't much because I always wrote my initials on everything (and those stay the same).

I knew this was going to be difficult, but I didn't know how difficult it was going to be. I don't need to be embarassed, but nonetheless I am.
