Dc is about to start secondary, and brought home a little leaflet about secondary school practicalities etc.
Apparently he is to address male teachers as Mr X or Sir and female teachers as Miss X or Mrs X or Miss.
This might be because I am a foreigner and not familiar with how secondary school works, but something about calling female teachers "Miss" just rubs me up the wrong way, maybe because the Fräulein has been history for a long time and I have always been Frau Pippi, even as a teenager.
What do you think about this as teachers? Non-issue?
Whether you're a permanent teacher, supply teacher or student teacher, you'll find others in the same situation on our Staffroom forum.
