    Isn't she very identifiable now by all the info that's been given here? If that was me and I logged on here, I'd recognise myself straight away! Just saying...

    Question

    If they call me by my first name, why should I refer to them as "Sir" or "Miss" only?

    Answer

    I understand a hierarchy needs to exist for order to be maintained and a learning environment to flourish,



    You've answered your own question with your own words above.
