What do your students call you?
I read the recent thread about being called "teacher" instead of Ms./Mr. Surname. There were a couple of people mentioning working at majority hispanic schools and being called teacher or Miss/Mister instead of being addressed by last name. I have only worked at schools that are 90%+ hispanic (I am in CA) and my students, with a few rare exceptions, have always called me Miss instead of Ms. Surname. But I thought this was just what kids do now? I never thought it was a specific cultural thing. I went to mostly white (non-Hispanic) and African American schools growing up and we said Ms./Mr. Surname but I graduated high school in 2009.
People who work at schools that are not predominantly Hispanic, do your students call you Ms/Mr surname or just miss/mister? Is it different for elementary v. high school? I'm in HS and I imagine elementary students who have the same teacher all day are more likely to say Ms./Mr. Surname as opposed to HS students with multiple teachers.
Edit: When I heard my students referring to other teachers they always say “Surname blah blah blah” or “in Surname’s class” so it’s clear they know our names but call us Miss/Mr to our faces. It doesn't bother me being called Miss.
Second edit: By majority Hispanic I mean most of my students are ethnically Hispanic but most of them are not ELLs. I have a few ELLs and reclassified students but for the majority of my students their primary language is English, which is what made me think this is just what the kids are doing these days. When I taught ESL I got called "teacher" a lot and I understood that was a cultural difference.
