Most awkward question you've asked a teacher? (1 Viewer)

[LoveHateSchool]

Omg mirakon that is so awkward!

At one of my friend's schools, there was a guy teacher and one of the Yr 9s said to him, "Sir, are you gay?" and he's like "No, I just moved here cause it didn't work out with my fiancee".

And at my school, no student would ever call a teacher by their first name. Though seniors tend to be able to dub teachers with nicknames lol. Oh and we pretty much call everyone Miss even if they are married (cause some teacher don't like been called Mrs if they are Miss) and guy teachers typically tend to be Sir.

Is it disrespectful that I call my teachers by their first names? LOL

Not really. For Year 11s and 12s... it's less formal, so it's kinda more appropriate to do so - but I wouldn't do it unless they allow you to do so. Nicknames are fine, I remember the Ancient History class at my school would call their teacher 'Jenny-mate' for some reason.

But for everyone else, pretty much - either their "normal" teacher name like Mr. Hughes, or:

I know a school where everyone in year 11/12 just calls teachers by their first names.
My school though, every female teacher is just called 'miss' and every male teacher 'sir'. But we do have nicknames for some.

This really annoys me. Everyone would call teachers Miss/Sir which I didn't like and would jsut say Mr X or Mrs X etc. This is not colonial England, they do not need to be called 'Sir'.

it's so awkward when you call your guy teacher miss.. or mum (which I did)

Sir is a sign of respect.

 

[soloooooo]

Sir is a sign of respect.

I know although I didn't see why I should call them that. Calling them Mr X is more than enough respect.

 

[SnowFox]

Because as gen Y we will try and short hand anything and everything?

because there is nothing with less syllables that we can call them

One advantage of sir, miss Is that you don't have to remember names in the first place. I like that concept.

And no need of having a hard time trying to say a ridiculously long name.

 

[Dan895]

Of course great minds think alike eh kaze?

Haha yes that's when just saying Sir and Miss comes in handy.

In year 8, we had an upcoming camp and I heard some rumours - I didn't think about googling to confirm it back then. I asked teacher "Is it true someone died at camp?"
Teacher replies "yes..." Awkward silence followed.
