Dave CormierMy 15 year old is wondering about calling teachers ‘sir’ and ‘miss’. It’s the custom in her school, but the two don’t feel balanced to her. Thoughts?
Simon Wood@davecormier Always hated being called ‘sir’ (or ‘miss’) had to train my post-16 students out of it. ‘My name’s Simon’
One other area where ‘sir’ is used is the police and military where it’s usually ‘sir’ and ‘ma’m’. Would that feel more balanced to her?
