[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You expect parents to call you Ms. Lastname? We are all adults. Parents and teachers should be on a first-name basis u less kids are present. So, in an email it should be addressing by first name.[/quote]

Why? We are in a professional work environment. I am a teacher and have never once called a parent by their first name. I'm not friends with my students' parents. Boundaries people. I also don't accept Facebook friend requests from them. Are you suggesting I do that? Since we're all so friendly with each other?[/quote]

I guarantee that Mrs. Garabolinsky doesn’t automatically shorten the names of her students: Niraprathaki Ramachandriganipoor doesn’t get to be called “N” or 
a nickname that she deems easier, even under the guise of an endearment. If Mrs, Garabolinsky wants to be called as such, then she tells her students and parents this at the beginning of every school year. Helpful to provide a backstory as to why, “I’m formal and proper and strict,” or “I’m very proud of my last name and here’s why” or “you need to be polite and respectful to me as your teacher and I will treat you with same respect and politeness.”

I’m on your side here, Mrs. Garabolinsky.

Mrs. Elizabeth Czechoslovakianname, Teacher[/quote]
