							| Because i was told that for native speakers, addressing your teacher by saying "teacher" is not correct. What�s more, I was told that  it�s a little pejorative. Is that right? |  7 Jan 2009

							| Here in Turkey students mostly use "teacher " they never call teachers by first name and I also think that it is not so correct to say "teacher"  but I didn�t know it was a kind of pjorative  |  7 Jan 2009

							| hmmm...In Romania , the students call me Teacher ..and they call the German teacher: Frau. So....I think the model is given by the lessons we have in the books. Here, we have "Hello, teacher ....","Good bye, teacher" ...so I suppose this is why we are told this way. D
