[Kali26983]

I ran into the last name identity a lot in high school. Especially coaches tended to call us by our last names. Several teachers would use this as well. It wasn’t all the time, but it did happen. I think this was maybe to distinguish between all the Ashleys and Jessicas that seemed to be in every classroom. I think the TV show reference could be due to the fact that people were more formal then than they are today. Now people try to be friendlier and using a person’s first name is a trick most of those in the business world use to build trust with their clients. On a side note, I should think that as a teacher, you might be used to your last name being used quite often, perhaps daily. I find it very hard to believe that it should be at all ‘jarring.’
