3/ One does not snap one's fingers at a waitress, or exclaim "you did this wrong. Get it right. You are a BILL." Each side of the transaction has a cost / revenue ledger. The student trades dollars for education / credentials ... but the prof trades labor for dollars.
4/ Neither party, contrary to Marxist agitation, is a master. Neither is a servant. There are two adults who come together to trade. Now, that said, there are SITUATIONAL hierarchies or norms. >>>
5/ The professor is in the right to set norms for classroom behavior, just as the waitress or restaurant manager is free to set norms. The waitress can tell you to take your feet off the table, and calling her "a bill" does not make you right or her wrong. >>>
6/ And a professor can tell you to get your assignments in on time, and that he doesn't care about your sorority rush as being relevant to that topic. And in either case, you can set your own norms. "Please don't touch my hair, or ask my about family".
7/ So the entire object-level debate re the screencap in the top of this thread centers around "who was breaking a norm?" And given that the screencapped OP didn't explain, I'd wager a decent bet that she herself was.
8/ certainly some profs are hugely arrogant ; I had a few (well, actually, just one) ...but I find AA "uh uh uh <snaps fingers> you list'n HEAH, you cracka!" style "respect me" behavior in response to innocuous norms to be a more likely explanationhttps://twitter.com/DShaw873/status/1316027591908896768 …
I'm mostly thinking of those who think far too highly of themselves for being in academia.
In the context of a generally "republican" society, I'd say our positions are similar. It's the act of putting on airs that should provoke that sort of response. In the example of a waiter, it'd only apply to those who act like a certain variety from Paris.
