[quote=Anonymous]Are you from the South? I wouldn’t be personally insulted. Depends on kids family and where they go to school. Some schools address teachers by only first name. I used to teach art classes and always had the kids address me by only my first name. I was hired to teach some art classes at a residential foster home for kids 4-13. The home was supervised by nuns and they forbid me from being addressed that way! I had to add Miss in front of my first name. Despite this, as the other white women there were nuns, the kids kept calling me Sister FirstName. They were kids. It’s a habit. It was not a big deal. Side note: One little boy was really funny. I am short and look pretty young. He was very bright and would never do it when other adults were present. He’d address me as Miss Shorty or Miss Teenager. He had snark beyond his years and I loved it! [/quote]
