I'd think in Georgia they'd call you Miss Losty, that's if they new your name.
They call me Miss Losty, or rather Miss Stephanie. But they still always say "yes ma'am" when asked a question or asked to do something.
What's so strange to me, I'm allowed to let students call me "Miss Stephanie" rather than "Ms. Smith" (not my actual last name haha), but I'm not allowed to let them not say "yes ma'am". Growing up, if we called anyone at our school Miss Firstname that would be the highest level of rudeness. My parents would have probably killed me.
