Do you know what program they use for dyslexia? I’m and a CALT and wanting to move from Texas to Washington.

That’s such a weird difference. I’ve grown up in Washington state but I just assumed that peers called each other by their first names.

Oh see this is so interesting. I teach and was raised in washington and that’s so normal. Every staff member calls each other first name unless we’re in front of students. I also always use my first name to introduce myself and talk to parents.

I thought this was going to be a video of talking about how the pay and working conditions are so much better! $115k plus wear what you want + a protected planning period. 😊

I think it is school to school or district to district because in my district we call each other by their last name unless we have friendships outside of school

Public schools in WA typically have kids call the teachers by Ms. Last Name.

I taught in Oklahoma and moved to Washington and the pay is the biggest difference and for way less work/ extra duties in Washington!

I could never imagine calling another adult that I work with by anything but their first name unless there are students nearby or they specifically requested something different. This is so interesting.

Wait teachers also call each other Ms/Mrs/Mr? I assumed since their peers it would be first time. I get calling them ms/mr/mrs in front of the students though.

I work in Washington state, going into my 21st year, and I’ve never heard any kids call their teachers by their first name! That’s so strange!

My wife has been a teacher in Everett, WA for over 10 years and your experiences are not hers. She would never allow kids or parents to call her by her first name.

The email thing cracks me up. You’re all adults and on the same level pretty much.

The other thing that might cause palpitations is the six figure salaries.

Wait until you find out a lot of us don’t call our uncles or aunts “uncle so and so” it’s just their first name 😂

I spent time in early childhood education and transitioned to older grades. I will always have my students call me Miss Tabitha. In early childhood it shows children to show respect and learn the importance of names and how to be respectful.
