Where in the world do teachers call you by your last name?

My 9th grade science teacher called all of his students by their last names as a sign of respect.

most of our coaches and one or two teachers call us by our last name. Plus i have a few friends who go my their last name, or a nickname and the teachers that usually would call you by your first name call you by the nickname or last name like everyone else.

my AP history teacher calls us by our last names

#14 i think they call people by their last name in japan.

My eighth grade social studies teacher did that to, "Establish that were were not children, but young adults", or something like that. He added Miss and Mister to it, too, lol. 8D :l There's a lot of school based tv shows where the students are called by their last name as well. That's retarded, though, OP. o-o All my teachers butcher at least one name in the class of a student, after awhile, they either don't give a shit, or they try to call on them enough to get the name down. :l Suuucckkks for you though

How do you "learn to have a better last name?" You don't get educated on getting better last names...

I had a ninth grade biology teacher who did the same thing. In fact, several of my ninth grade teachers did that.

I don't hope that #39. "Yes, Lee?", "Alright, Lee", "What is the answer, Lee?"

rofl. there are quite a few stupid names that are almost impossible to pronounce. OP, why couldn't you've asked your teacher to call you by something else? EASY to pronounce, maybe?

It depends on the teacher. It sets a wall of formality between the teacher and the student. @OP: Your stupid physics teacher should've tried at least. I have one former classmate who always has her teachers stumble on her last name. But they didn't stop trying. Just curious though, what IS your last name?

@14 In high school, a couple teachers called me by my last name, but without "Mr." Then again, they were also my football coaches...

He never said it was his last name

You're a ******* idiot.

Sacajawea...sack in a box!

seriously. that guys dumb to day that...

It's probably that poor guy Spreme. :p

wtf?!!

Op never even said it was their last name the teacher couldn't pronounce, it could just as easily be their first name too

my band teacher does it. which leads to some confusion because I have a twin

My English teacher all through Jr. high and high school called us Ms/Mr (insert last name). It's about respect. I thought it was strange at first but actually gained more respect for him, from it.

i;m sure your coach can say bitch #8

Don't worry Quakaliopsbadapompski, the teacher will learn to pronounce your name eventually!

Where I'm from, there's a LOT of kids with names that you can't pronounce. It just depends on your race. My name is simple, but I hear crazy ones a lot. Here's two... Franshelix and Nepthalie. Most teachers can't pronounce those names. One more is Olaoluwa. Yeah...

ur physics teacher is retarded. if he can't pronounce your name have him call you by the first letter or something or just let him pronounce it wrong. if ur just insistent on him saying it exactly right, then YDI

She said that she always raises her hand. In my Excellerated Math class, there's another Jessica and my twin brother. My teacher just calls me 'Jessica the Evil Twin' because I said I'm the evil one. OP, that sucks :/

I know this one kid; his parents are total hippies by the way, his full legal name is Laughing Spruce (last name kept out for his sake), but he goes by Spruce.

what are you, 10? your spelling and use of profanity is on the level of a fifth grader.

That really wasn't a necessary comment. Hasn't anyone ever taught you any manners? No need to bash on someone because they speak--or type-- differently.

Well this really isnt a 10 year old site, I had a friend like that who was younger then I was and thought cursing was cool and basically used all the curse words, back then **** wasnt a popular one and was barely used by teenagers and now ten year olds are using it..ugh who the **** infected the gene pool...

It does if the teacher is giving you bad grades because you don't participate...

In some courses, class participation is a mandatory preparation for one's career. Imagine having a criminal trial lawyer who "didn't participate in class". See you in prison!
