[quote=Anonymous]I've always referred to my kids' teachers by their first names (while referring to them in front of my kids by Ms. XYZ.) And I always sign letters/notes to them with my (and DHs) first names. I am not trying to be BFFs, but since we are both adults, I find it acceptable. There is an old school culture in DC where people are still referred to as Ms. XYZ to each other. I get e-mails and calls daily referencing me as Ms. XYZ and it doesn't stop until I outright say, "Please call me (first name.)" And this is among peers at other agencies. It is a DC thing.[/quote]
