[quote=Anonymous]GDS is an impressive school academically and also has a great social climate.  GDS students tend to be accepting and care about personality rather than race, appearance, or socio-economic status when choosing friends.  Many students are attending GDS on financial aid-- no students know who is and who isn't and they don't really care.

The first name basis aspect of the teacher-student relationship does not encourage disrespect.  On the contrary, it encourages students and teachers to have a relationship of mutual respect.  Students and teachers are comfortable working together to improve the students's work and find the learning style which suits the students best.

After a year or two, parents who were originally put off by the use of first names become comfortable with it.  They generally notice the healthy relationship between teacher and student which enhances the students learning experience and makes the students more comfortable with sharing their work with others and receiving and interpreting constructive criticism.[/quote]
