Which is the most polite way to address someone?

Asked by Supacase (14563points) February 1st, 2010

A man who teaches one of my daughter’s extra-curricular activities insists on calling everyone Mr. or Mrs. even if someone has expressed a preference for him to use his or her first name.

This is not a formal situation and remembering our first names is not an issue. We are around the same age.

Is it more polite to continue the Mr. & Mrs. even if it there has been a specific request not to do so?
