[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a teacher, but I am an adult and I do not want any child addressing me by my first name in no environment. Perhaps it is a cultural thing, but this need to equate children to adults seems to be a Western/European thing. A child can be taught to feel empowered in an environment where there is, in fact, hierarchy. School is very much such environment, as would be the workforce. [/quote] Obviously, everyone is entitled to a preference with regard to what they would like to be called. However, I question the idea that hierarchy functions better by using formal titles. I call my boss by her first name but there's no question as to who is in charge. [/quote]
