Someone PLEASE tell me why having "Dr." in front of your name is worth it?
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE grad school, but a lot of folks ask their students not to say "Dr." and while I think I understand...
Why?

Some instructors prefer to try to flatten the relationship by avoiding titles which put emphasis on the difference. And certainly, were I teaching graduate students (ah, happy dreams) I'd see the sense in that. Graduate students are junior colleagues.

But I find in undergraduate teaching (and also with the general public on matters where my degree pertains) the distinction that 'Dr.' provides is valuable. After all, the entire reason I am the teacher and they are the students is that I am the Dr. and they are not.

As an undergrad, I never had an issue calling someone Dr. *Blank* (if they got it, good for them!) but I'm curious where some prefer distinction over others, if that makes sense?

For my part, with (undergraduate) students I prefer Dr. <Lastname>. I think preferences here often come down to attitudes about hierarchy and status distinction.
