[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Son" has meaning by reference to a parent. It describes a specific relationship. [b]No need for teacher to use it.[/b] [/quote]

No need to get so upset about it either. [/quote]

No need for me to get upset about a lot of things that bother me, yet they do. If a colleague called me "mother" in all of our interactions, I'd be really, really irritated. If I asked the colleague to stop and he/he continued, I'd get angry. If I tried again to get colleague to stop and colleague did not, I'd be simmering mad too. I'm an adult and am not going to hit the colleague, but inside my head I'd certainly be screaming.

In this case, it's a young kid with serious parent issues. The teacher is being inappropriate by continuing to say this even when asked by the student not to do so. That's when it becomes a big deal. Maybe if the kid started calling his teacher by a specific descriptor (why not son? - also accurate description of teacher!) the teacher would get the drift. [/quote]
