oneofmany: i thought that was just in brooklyn!! but yeah, we had to call all of our high school teachers rebbetzin which was pretty pathetic because it took too long to say rebbetzin and then a last name so we used to drop the rebbetzin and just call them by their last names. Another problem with the system was that I kind of lost respect for the title rebbetzin after a single teacher of mine got married and went from being Miss K. to Reb. B.
You are not Rebbetzin unless your husband has smicha.
