Nah, I hate when children are made to do this! It's so unnecessary. Children deserve respect too! Most adults forget that!

@Mizzie I grew up in an era when children never addressed adults by their first names. It was supposed to be about "respect," of course. But we kids had our own views of the adults in our lives and calling them "Mr./Miss/Mrs." didn't make us respect them any more than if we had been addressing them by their first names as other grownups did.
