I am still trying to figure out what you want to be called in front of your child.  I thought adults used first names and children were taught to use Mrs. or Mr. Last Name.  I would have thought that saying Mrs. XYZ would be more condescending in front of a child.  When you are out with your friends with your children in line do you talk to your friends using Mrs. XYZ?

You are blowing this out of proportion.  She was trying to get the kids to follow orders, you were interjecting and interrupting with questions and she had a very directed comment to you.  Coming back with 'I don't need to be here because I am high and mighty and volunteering my time' would have  any teacher wishing you would just leave at that minute.  Nobody has time for that when they are trying to do a job and responsible for 20+ kids.  [/quote]

I do think OP is blowing this out of proportion, but parents and teachers are supposed to use Mr. and Mrs. unless the teacher specifically says something different. You can address yourself with your name, but they in return would still say Mrs. xxx.[/quote]
