Why Don't We Call Them By Their Offical Names? by Danbam(m): 3:03pm On Jan 06, 2016 |
Please moderators, u can kindly help move to d appropriate section, if I've wrongly posted this. Good day everyone, this has been on my mind for sometimes now, it’s something I experienced during my secondary school, undergraduate as well as post graduate days and I’m sure quite a number of us can relate to this as well. I wouldn’t know if there’s any particular reason why this has become the norm in our educational institutions and society as a whole. It’s about the way we call our teachers and lecturers. I noticed something back in secondary school days that whenever we want to call our teachers, we call them “excuse me sir”, “excuse me ma” “sir”, or “ma” instead of calling them Mr. Bassey or Ms. Edet (their official names). I guess this was generally thought to be the right name to call them, even in higher Institutions. I was perplexed when a friend of mine addressed my Departmental Head as “H.O.D” (which of course is his post and could be addressed that way), only for him (the H.O.D) to tell him (my friend) he’s being rude and he’s not permitted to call him that, that only members of staff are allowed to call him that. Now my concern and question is this, is this trend right or better still, how should we call our teachers and lecturers ? Cc: lalasticlala |
