Miss Mary

The sign outside my room and my title here.
Everyone is referred to by their last name.  The Principal is Miss Iva, the Thai teacher is Miss Mod, the Biology teacher is Mr David and the Headmaster is Mr Greg.  Surnames are superfluous, even  with the students.  Class lists and rolls  list students alphabetically by first name. I wouldn't know the surname of most students or staff.
This week is the end of the quarter (term) so it has been a busy week for Miss Mary.  Tests, quizzes, students retaking tests, assignments due and then of course the correction and eventual report writing.  Reports use an online comment bank and restricted to three comments, which you don't have to develop yourself. While it is impersonal and not too informative I'm hoping it will be a straight forward process.  No need for my normal report writing avoidance strategies of cleaning the stove and the refrigerator or even the windows.
