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 so in some ways I think that the folks who drop Dr. - in my own experience, almost universally white male instructors - are unintentionally (to be clear, I think they have good motives) benefiting from a privilege their non-white or non-male colleagues do not have.
-
Consequently - if I can sound *truly* out of touch - maintaining some vestige of the 'dignity of the degree' and using the title with undergraduates might help give cover to non-white and non-male instructors to do the same as a way of asserting their authority in the classroom.

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