AITA for not telling the sub how to pronounce my name?

We had a substitute teacher today.

She was taking the attendance.

Then, she asked if she was pronouncing my name correctly.

I told her she could pronounce it however she wanted.

This woman couldn’t pronounce her ethnic name.

It wasn’t to be rude but because I genuinely don’t know how to say it myself.

I have an ethnic name, but no one, not even my family, calls me by it.

I was given an alias, since I was three years old.

Despite that, I was called disrespectful and have sent out of class.

Whoa! Is that even fair? The substitute sounds unreasonable.
