[quote=Anonymous]I've always called the teacher Mr. or Ms. fill-in-with-last-name. It's a sign of respect on my part for your professional status, and if there are kids within earshot, it is important in my opinion that they hear you addressed as they address you. I am an older mom who is always 10-15 years older than most of the teachers and many of my kid's peers' mothers. I'm in my mid 50s now with a kid starting high school. I have encountered many (much younger) teachers who address me as "Mrs. ____" and then another kid's (much younger) mother walks into the classroom and it's like "Oh, hi, Courtney!" So I get it in return, as well.[/quote]
