Assunto: | Re: The use of the word 'teacher' |
Mensagem: | Rodolfo, Dude, you freak me out at times. I know your intentions are great but sometimes you just go a little too much over the border. Take it easy and smell the roses every now and then. You have to consider the following: Teacher is a title, just like Doctor is a title, sometimes a student will just raise his/her hand and will say: - Teacher, I have a question! And that's totally acceptable. As I see it, calling Mrs, Ms or Mr such and such by his/her last name is very polite, but pronouncing Teacher out loud for me is something that shows indeed a sense of respect and entitlement to our great teachers all over the world. |
