[quote=Anonymous]Here’s how I explain my preference to parents: I am not your child’s friend, I’m an authority figure, so just a first name is inappropriate. At the same time, it’s not a formal classroom, and I’m not a random adult (like their friend’s mom), so Ms. Last Name is too formal. I am Miss First Name, to keep the balance of personal and yet not too personal. I equate it to mom’s sister, Aunt Kim, or Miss Teresa, the preschool teacher. I’m not a good match for families who insist on full formality, including being addressed as Mr. and Mrs. Button in their own home in front of their kids, nor am I match for families who want a big sister for their kids.[/quote]
