I teach at a secular school and the kids call all the teachers by their name - including the headmistress!!! My kids call me "Aimee" - in Hebrew it sounds like "Emmy".
I teach at the Community Center too and I have kids from secular schools and religious schools. Kids from religious schools have been taught to respect their teachers it seems... They call me "Hamora" (h like Holland) - It means "the teacher" in Hebrew (teacher F).
I call them by their first names of course. I remember the names very quickly and easily.
Good luck, Kriszta! Have a good and successful school year!

I use first names because I teach adults. If I was teaching children or teensfor a school or institution it would be "Mr Pitts" and never the first name. In the US these days you often here "Miss Debbie"(first name) at preschool levels, but in school it is Mr, Mrs, or Miss. I have never heard, nor used, "teacher" as a title. They may do it in European English, but it doesn �t sound right to my American ears. |
