[quote=Anonymous]It does not make a difference.  Please judge a school by the quality of the education, and the interests your student will be able to pursue.  DC spent preK-8th at two private schools where you address your teachers by title and surname.  They were both excellent schools.

DC then chose to attend GDS over other Big 3 schools because they felt GDS would best meet their interests.  At GDS you address your teachers by their first name, the students are very independent and self-directed, the atmosphere is slightly more laid back, and the academics are superb.  DC graduated with everything they had hoped to achieve when they first chose GDS, including an education that prepared them well for H/S, recognized achievement in their area of interest, strong faculty mentors, close friends, a greater appreciation of the arts,  leadership and athletic opportunities, and NMF status.

GDS may indeed not be the right school for your student, but please do not make that decision on the basis of whether or not the students use a last name to address the teachers.[/quote]
