[QUOTE =david11;848491
There is a lot of cultural difference but I prefer to stick to my culture. [/QUOTE]
***** NOT A TEACHER *****
I think that it is wonderful that you thank the teachers for their hard work. (Some thread
starters do not thank the people who try to help them.)
I think that it is wonderful that you use the words "sir" and "ma'am."
I do not understand why some teachers are upset by these words.
I think that they should feel honored.
BUT they are the teachers; we are the learners.
So we must do what they tell us.
(P.S. When you meet English-speaking adults, I hope that you will continue
to address them as "sir" and "ma'am." Most of them will appreciate this mark of
respect and formality.)
