[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is cultural. Figure out what the people in your circles do and copy. [/quote] Our circle is still in the Mr/Ms LastName or Good Afternoon, Position/Rank [Mayor, Senator, LtCol]. If someone's kid calls me by my FirstName, I'll politely ask that they use Mr/Ms LastName and I don't really care what their parent has told them to call me. I've rarely had to do so, and with one exception, all the kids made the quick shift without issue. One parent of a child who didn't think twice to change ruffled up and a different child refused altogether. I consider both of them rude, esp the parent who had made a big stink about their child being referred to as [a specific way, and [i]not[/i] even their legal name] by the teacher. What a double-standard.[/quote]
