I (Amy) said:
Oh, and then there's Madame Maxine, who IS apparently a teacher and 
headmistress, but who is addressed by her first name like she is a nursery school 
teacher!


Then Sherrie said:

Actually, Madam Maxime is addressed by her LAST name - her first name is 
Olympe.  Additionally, she's French...


To which I reply:

D'oh!  
That'll teach me to write a post w/out checking the books...but my point, I think, still stands. There is an inconsistancy in address of professionals in the WW.

who kinda likes the image of MM as a nursery school teacher :)
