I grew up in the south. I NEVER called an adult by first name.. except with a Miss in front.. My daughers friends did not call me by my given name either.
It was yes ma'am.. or thank you ma'am
Now.. in Miami the students address teachers (females) as Miss. Not ma'am or Mrs. XXXXX it is Miss. It takes some getting used to.
