The virtual school says its hands are tied due to Florida’s “don’t say gay” law. However, the teacher has lodged a complaint against it.

    The idea to me is to show humility and respect to someone wiser than yourself. However, I think the ultimate show of respect would be to simply listen and to iterate that you have listened rather than giving someone a potential ego trip.

      There’s also something to be said about knowing their name. In grade school I knew my teachers last names at least because I called them Mr/Ms whatever. In university they were just “Professor” and I forgot most of their names.

        For sure. Here we never brought up the teacher’s first name unless another kid asked midclass.

        I learned one teacher’s name in gradeschool that way and tried it - just doing it made me uncomfortable so I didn’t do it again lol.
