What's up with straight cis white men being like, "Nah my students can call me Ryan."
I know it's because they are immediately respected, but it's still so weird.
@Cyborgneticz montessori schools do the ‘call teachers by their first names’ thing but its part of a larger set of expectations intended to reduce the power differential
@Cyborgneticz yeah I mean Montessori also generally starts at pre-k so you’re not necessarily aware its unusual until you get out?
& generally yeah but the fact that its not considered rude in context is supposed to be the point — you’re addressing them the way you would a peer
fwiw I have way less educational trauma than like…almost everyone I know so clearly some of it worked haha
@Satsuma The trauma I have from school is mostly due to my emerging bi polar, so none of it was tied to teachers n whatnot thankfully.
It's more of, even if it would be the norm in school, that'd be the type of thing if I called someone's parents by their first name - unnacceptable.
@Satsuma I have complex feelings on it, but I just would never have done that.
Also it would've been considered rude as hell.
