Just last names. No mr/mrs/ms

I just say Miss or Mister without saying their last names.



Have a nice day

I used to always call my old LA teacher Mr. Whale, because his name was Mr. Orcutt, which oddly reminded me of "orca" whales.
Not that he was...particularly rotund or anything.

When I'm talking to them always with Mr/Mrs./Sra. then their last name
But if I don't respect them I call them by their first name behind their back.

I generally don't have to refer to them as anything. When I talk to them directly I don't say a name. When I think of them in my head, I think Mr./Ms./Mrs. So-and-So.

Someone should be like "yo homie" with one of their teachers.

Descuff

^^My friend does that every day 2 years ago to this old teacher. Every time the teacher refuses to shake his hand... until the last day of school and the teacher went all "yo homie" on him. It was so funny lmao.

I use "Mr./Mrs./Ms. (last name)" or "Professor (last name)." In many cultures, it's usually considered impolite to address a teacher by first name.

I address them all by their last name (Mr/Mrs/Ms___), except for my Spanish teacher, whom I call Señora ______. When I talk to my friends/classmates, though, I refer to them by their last names only (or a variation of that). So instead of "Mr. Jones", I'll just say "Jones".

I do know of a local high school where all the teachers are addressed by their first names, although I couldn't imagine calling my teacher "Nancy" or whatever instead of "Mrs. ___"

I would die if someone called a teacher "son."


Son, look me in the eyes when I talk to you ... I know I don't got my homework, but you aint gonna put a 0 down, nuh uh ... or i'mma spank your backside

^One exception to my previous post, sometimes we address teachers by their first name if their last name is quite hard to pronounce.

@IceQube, lol.

Mr/Ms/Mrs. Although when talking with friends, sometimes I just drop that part and use the teacher's last name.

People with teachers who have a doctorate degree—

Do you actually call them Dr. ____?

Because I have a Spanish teacher I hate and I refuse to call her "Doctora." Drives her mad XD

IceQube

Ohh Oohh!!

One of my teachers last year had a doctorate. She never once mentioned that she had one .... ever. Seriously. It was so weird, because half-of-us could call her Doc anyway.

I only called her Dr. _____ because her former students referred to her as such.

Some people called her Ms. _____ all year, presumably because they didn't have any upper-classmen friends to tell them about their future teachers.

Well, my Chem teacher was a biochem researcher before he got fed up with 80+ hour work weeks and came to us so he did have a doctorate. We always called him Dr if we didn't just call him by his last name. There was also a math teacher who had a doctorate (not in mathematics or education) and we always got confused. We do get confused and accidentally call the Bio/MES teacher Dr occasionally even though we know he isn't one for some reason.

The old principal had a dr in education but we all kinda ignored it. Same with the superintendent. And the assistant superintendent...
