"Brown Teacher"
Students call teachers, "선생님= seun seng nim." Teachers call one another this too out of respect. Titles are important in Korean culture. I believe this is done in part out of respect for hierarchy. Some students call me "Brown Teacher." Family name and title. The 5-7 year olds call me "선생님." They are more familiar with that than they are with "teacher."
