She and her siblings went on to believe her, and years later, her mother discovered that she'd been incorrect, and called them to apologize and tell them that the correct pronunciation is "orangutan".

But it was almost 30 years ago, so I can't be sure. I would've been 8 (birthday in October). Not that it matters, but this classroom was an odd experiment: it was a 2nd grade & 3rd grade class combined in one room. So in reality, she had 7 to 9 year olds (at least) in the room.
