Oz Cloggie I love the example given, where the politician urged that the students return to addressing teachers, using the formal 'U', while in the heat of debate, in parliament the prime minister was being called an 'idiot'.
Oz Cloggie The last 3rd (roughly) of my 37 years as "chalkie" (11 years) was spent at the one 'smallish' school, in southern Sydney. Pupils who transferred to there from inner-city schools, were sometimes still used to calling the teacher: "Sir". They soon dropped that. There was a good balance of (in)formality. The discipline is not based on such matters.
*Considering that not all of these politicians are teacher-trained or have a great deal of experience, managing class-rooms.
