So what's the point?
I think the poster is responding to the argument that addressing teachers by their first names leads to a lack of respect or has a negative impact on the learning environment. What is the point of your post?
NP. Some of us believe that it does lead to a lack of respect and has negative impact on the learning environment, despite what the schools and/or teachers say.
My kids are younger, so I don't yet know what high school environment we'll want for them. Do you have any evidence that it leads to lack of respect and has negative impacts?

I went to public HS in Greenwich, Ct and many of my teachers asked us to address them by their first names. No tuition paid.

Just want to know what different schools are like. The first name thing is not something I want for my child, but I understand and respect those with different opinions on the subject.

Sidwell seems to be on a last name basis (except maybe the Chinese teachers).
