<p>&nbsp;“Teacher!&nbsp; Teacher!” They shout, their hands shooting in the air.</p>
<p>&nbsp;After eight years in the classroom—and after growing up “Hispanic”, albeit with weak Spanish speaking skills—I still find it mildly jarring when a Latino middle school student tries to get my attention in class by addressing me as “Teacher.”&nbsp; In these cases, they don’t say the usual “Mr. Rodriguez.”&nbsp; They don’t say, “Excuse me.”&nbsp; They certainly don’t say “Sir.”&nbsp;</p>
