Addressing teachers
Hope this is the right Forum for my question. If not, I'm really sorry.
I'd like to know how kids usually address teachers in English-speaking countries.
In Italy, for example, we use "maestra/maestro" for primary school teachers and "prof. or professore" for middle and high school teachers.
Do you still use Sir or Miss, or Mr / Miss + name?
Thanks for you help.

Thanks a lot, Vorpar.
What about secondary education?
If you don't say, for instance, Mr/Mrs/Miss Smith, do you still use Sir addressing a man or Miss addressing a woman?

Mr., Miss, Mrs., Ms. in high school as well, at least in the public school system. Some private schools allow/encourage their students to call their teachers by their first name. And perhaps in some other private schools, they do use "Sir" but you are very, very unlikely to hear that (or "Miss") in a public school.
