[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I always call teachers and principals Mr/Miss/Mrs but they often first-name me uninvited. Incredibly rude.[/quote] Do you call your attorney, accountant, architect, or banker Mr/Miss/Mrs.? In the professional world I inhabited before going into teaching, most adults in business situations called each other by their first names. [/quote] Most people in the business world don’t spend the majority of their days around children. My 124 students call me “Mrs.” That’s my norm and what I hear all day long. I put no time into worrying what parents call me, but after hearing “Mrs.” all day, I find it jarring to hear my first name. That’s it. I don’t care, but I find the switch distracting to me. Teachers simply have a different work environment than other professionals. [/quote]
