[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You address friends by their first names. Teachers are not your friends and should not be treated as such. Keep the relationship professional by addressing him/her as'mr., mrs., miss' etc[/quote] I agree. I am a teacher and prefer Ms. To blur those boundaries is unprofessional. I am your child's teacher. Do you call your child's pediatrician by his/her first name, or is it Dr. So and So? your dentist? When I hear teachers saying it's fine to be that friendly with parents, I am appalled. Teachers, do you want Jane Doe to email you by addressing you as Larla and then ripping you a new asshole b/c Johnny Boo Hoo earned himself a D? No wonder the general public thinks we're idiots.[/quote]
