I agree. I think the thread began as a story about a teacher who would only call a student by his/her given name. I think that a student should be able to dress as he/her wishes, that he/she should be able to medically transition as he/she sees fit and that a teacher and fellow students can choose to call the trans student whatever name he/she wishes. However the only point I was making was that a student and his/her parents must register the trans student under one name and then must follow the procedure and rules to change the student's name under the school's manual. If a teacher follows the rules then he or she cannot and should not be disciplined. If he/she does not, however, appropriate disciplinary action must be taken.
