Huh, calling your teachers by their first name? Is that such a special thing over in the US?
I have been doing so since elementary school, right through high school, and even now at university. Then again, this might be a Dutch thing, as foreign students are always very surprised. And I have always been close with my teachers, so that might also be why.
Also, as an actual question, how are the debates between students amongst themselves and students and staff? Do the relative strong emotions of the youths have a tendency of derailing them, or does this almost never happen?
