Everyone uses "Teacher First Name" at my school but I don't know why. Personally, Mr. Jelen seems too official and I don't view myself as an official teacher so maybe that's the reason. Plus, Mr. Jelen is my Dad, not me.
For all my classes, I have introduced myself as "Teacher Jeff" and that's what the students have been calling me. But lately, the students are starting to call me one of two other names. No, Teacher Stupid isn't one of them.
The first is "Teacher JJ." They get this because the kids write down their homework in a "Bye-Bye Book" and the teacher has to sign it to make sure its correct. I write my initials instead of my name. I guess I'm the only teacher that does that so the kids seem to enjoy it and the name is starting to stick in a couple classes. Fine by me.
The other name is "Teacher JeFu" pronounced "Jay-Fu." If you asked most of the students to say the letter "f" they'd say "f-ooo" instead of just saying "f" so that's where this comes from. I like this one cause its my Chinese name, for now. That is of course until I get a cooler name that means "brave dragon slayer of the west" or something like that.

I'm not sure how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me.
