[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry to see that people that reply to these posts know nothing about what they are talking about. After attending ONE open house I can answer the first name question. It has nothing to do with a lack of respect or trying to insinuate that all adults are equal.  When GDS was founded, as the first intergrated school in DC, all black americans had to address whites as Mr. and Mrs. - regardless of roles.  This school decided that everyone would call each other by thier first names to avoid the racist conotations of salutations.   Please do your research people before you anser these questions.  Just saying mr or mrs does not in anyway teach respect - its a facade.  respect is taught in many ways.  My children call some of my friends by thier first names, and other people they don't know by mr and mrs.  Do you really think this means they don't respect my friends?  I am sorry that you are so close minded.   And those kids don't drink coffee in middle school.  If you are trying to diss GDS, your going to have to try harder than that. [/quote]
