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?

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.

And I don't see a good reason, myself, to 'play pretend' that we are 'all learning together' when that isn't really what we are generally doing. Honestly, the illusion of a non-hierarchical class can hardly survive the first exam anyway.

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