informal poll: do kids call you by your last name? by SnappingTurtle2006-07-26 09:35:29
  At church, we have taught our kids to refer by merlin 2006-07-26 09:49:47
to their teachers and what-not as Mr.|Mrs. [firstname]. If another adult is a close family friend, they may also address them as such.

Otherwise, it's Mr.|Mrs. [lastname], until such point as that adult tells our children they may use their first name.

It's more formal, yes, but it's also more polite in my opinion.
