Well?

Well.. mainly "sir" or "miss"... if we called any teacher by first name at our school I think they'd get pissed off

 

[tash]

well generally their surname or whatever or otherwise we give them nicknames, eg we call our music teachers razzle and jazza, and our ancient history teacher mrs wobith 'wobi', but not by their first names. that'd b kinda weird

 

[...]

we call them sir...but they know we made nicknames for them, but they dun really seem to mind

 

[MiuMiu]

It depends what teacher at our school. Obviously the older and senior members of staff we address properly but our younger teachers I either call by first name or by the many nicknames we make for each other.

We almost always call our teachers either Mr. or Mrs. or Miss..

well if the teacher don;'t teach us we call them "sir..etc:.
but teachers we know and all that we call them by first and nick names..they like it-they even told us to greet them that way(year 12 only that is)

like my math teacher is called - goug or santa
chem- yo man
BIO- mrs preety P yeah we liek to suck up)
SOR- O.D

we get along with our teachers that's why i thik we can call them by nick and fiorast name. we even have their phone numbers to ask them questions during our study (free HSC advicdel line)

yeh we ours mr blah blah and mrs/Miss blah blah

Some of our teachers we call by their first names only as a joke, tho its weird,the librarian lady is called by her first name?

 

[Lexicographer]

Fort Street is probably the most laissez faire selective school around, everyone's "Mr Steve" (Stephen Gray, Deputy) or "King Mully" (Tony Mulligan, History) or "Seeeeeerge!" (Serge Yalichev, Languages). Ok, maybe that's just me, but they don't really care what we (seniors) call them as long as they know there's respect.

The pricipal is always "Ms Moxham", though, because she's f--king scary.

My chemistry teacher was a bit of a weirdo - if you called him "Sir" he would call you "madam" ...

[Survivor39]

nah, no first names allowed in our school, even for seniors.
and nicknames? don't even think about it!

 

[trekkie]

some teachers we use their nicknames but generally sir and miss

 

[Leanne]

i usually couldnt be bothered actually saying their surname.....miss or sir are fine by me!!! but then i heard that if u say miss or sir to a uni lecturer they'll ignore u....u actually have to remember their names!!!! first names!!

Well at my school it is CUSTOMARY to call them by their first name, but my school is different to most highschools. It's on site with the university, and only has yr 11 and 12, plus no detention, and it's an "adult learning environment" ie they treat you like equals, it's great

To avoid calling the wrong names, I use 'sir' or 'miss'
Behind their backs, it depends, sometimes by nickname or just surname sometimes, title with surname, or just first name

i've never really addressed a teacher by the first name unless they've asked me to.

I remember when I was in year 9, this girl in my class wrote the English teacher's first name on her (the girl's) desk, then the English teacher saw it. Being conventional and all, she got all pissed. No kidding, she was full on yelling at her and stuff. umm... that's why I usually avoid calling teachers by their first names. but I know their names anyway hehe

 

[Misturi]

I call my teachers both by their surnames and their nicknames, l also call one of my teachers and idiot, bastard, loser and very lame.
