[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Used to be at a first name only school--for everyone. Hated it. I don't think kids should call teachers and parents my their first names.[/quote] I attended a (private) first-name high school. I was so much closer to my teachers at that school than when I attended public high school prior to switching. My teachers became people, with real lives and problems. My social studies teacher was Arlene. I can tell you all about her daughter, but can also tell you I learned so much about the government structure from Arlene. My biology and botany teacher was Laura, my gym teacher was Eileen, my English teacher was Shari (FB friend now), my principal was Kevin (who was my health teacher before that). When I think of them it's warmly, and I think of them as whole people, with all the complexities people have. I had MORE respect for them, because I could say "Hey Laura, I am not getting this."
