[quote=Anonymous]I am a little confused why people would find a special food treat on a celebration day to be weird - popcorn and hot chocolate on a pajama day? If we called it "spirit week" even more bizarre dress and behavior from teachers and students would be thought normal. I've been a substitute teacher at a school that uses first names, (not GDS) and more than any prior dealing with grade school through high school kids, I feel respected. In turn, I have a great respect for them. They are not generally rude, and I don't feel they are trying to "pull one over" on me as the sub. I fail to see how people are addressed has much bearing on the presence or absence of respect. I didn't grow up addressing adults by their first names. I think I'm realizing that the kids I am interacting with give and get more respect than was given or received at my traditional school growing up. [/quote]
