[quote=Anonymous]I agree this is a DC thing. I've been a teacher for a very long time. I have always introduced myself by my first name to both students and parents. I have never worried about respect. I'm a professional who earns the respect of parents and students by the good work I do and in the high expectations I have for my students. Never had a problem with respect and never encountered a parent who had an issue with my first name. Here, I occasionally get parents who insist on calling me Ms LastName, even when I introduce myself by my first name. Students seem more comfortable with my first name, but many of them still call me Miss First Name. which is another DC thing. I call parents whatever they want to be called. If they introduce themselves as Dr Whoever, I'll call them Dr Whoever. I don't care. Names and titles don't matter to me, but if they matter to you, cool.[/quote]
