Learning students names

Every morning, this teacher demands complete silence from kids in homeroom to do roll call. She then proceeds to call out names (pronouncing many incorrectly). Inevitably, kids start chatting which piss her off and she calls them out about it. Usually in a confrontational style that ends up getting kids defensive. She then tells them to leave the room and/or threaten to not mark them present if they give her attitude.

One particular girl started talking back and asked why this painful process has to happen everyday. Why can't she learn their names?

And the student is totally right. This teacher doesn't even bother to look up when doing roll call to match the name with a face... Instead of spending 15 minutes to learn their names and quickly taking attendance on her own, she has DAILY battles with her students. It boggles the mind... she could at least learn how to pronounce their names correctly. She fails on both accounts. Makes me wonder what kind of teacher she is in her own classroom.
