Thanks goodness they don�t call me JERK! 
Mine call me by my first name.
That�s how it�s done in Denmark.

Well, mine call me "professora" (when they forget they�re supposed to speak only in English!!!) or "teacher". Here in Portugal students never call teachers by their first name. |

Usually they call me "teacher"  ... and the braver ones use "Linda", my first name.

Because i was told that for native speakers, addressing your teacher by saying "teacher" is not correct. What�s more, I was told that it�s a little pejorative. Is that right? |

Here in Turkey students mostly use "teacher " they never call teachers by first name and I also think that it is not so correct to say "teacher" but I didn�t know it was a kind of pjorative |

hmmm...In Romania , the students call me Teacher ..and they call the German teacher: Frau. So....I think the model is given by the lessons we have in the books. Here, we have "Hello, teacher ....","Good bye, teacher" ...so I suppose this is why we are told this way.
