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?

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.

I'm also aware that the whole bit about titles is different for balding white men (read: me) than everyone else. It is *easy* for white male instructors to dispense with titles, because society accords us respect 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.
