How it's used
While this term is technically correct, locals often use the more specific title 中學阿Sir or 中學Miss to refer to teachers in daily conversation. Using the full title 中學教師 sounds slightly formal or like a job description on a form. It is common to drop the 中學 part if the context of the school is already clear.
