Dr. X may not really have a doctorate?

Going by Mr X or even Dr X would make sense, but Professor seems kind of pretentious for a headmaster, even in Westchester.

Professor X has a PhD and could be called Dr. X, but apparently Dr. X doesn't have a PhD and should be called Professor X.

We should probably ask Grand Verbalizer Brother J about this.

How?
The teacher calls herself Dr. at school.
By the teacher's own social media posts that she has put out to the public -- she doesn't call herself a doctor on LinkedIn or even mention she has a PhD. Her LinkedIn is completely viewable by the public. On her Facebook page, she says she has a PhD in Educational Studies, but doesn't say from where or when. That information she has provided is also left publicly viewable - along with her current job description that she is a "Protector of little people in purgatory."
VADOE database does not show she has a PhD or EdD -- just a bachelor's and master's.

These are facts - facts that she herself has supplied publicly.

So, how is that defamation that I've posted about it? Defamation is a false statement presented as a fact.

Right, but my point was we should collectively care about the kids still remaining at the school. Any unethical behavior that is happening in our county is a problem that impacts our community, and shouldn’t be pushed under the rug. These are public school employees being compensated by tax dollars we all pay. We should focus beyond our own needs and support ethical behavior for all teachers teaching in our school system.
She's the one that has provided the information. She's the one who has called herself Dr.

How? Because it doesn’t matter what she calls herself. It could be a nickname. She could have a credential you don’t know about or isn’t listed. It doesn’t matter. What matters is you seem hell bent on ruining her reputation. This thread alone, with the identifying information, is enough to get you sued into oblivion. Your threats to go to the board suggest you want her to face some sort of consequences (for what? She hasn’t done anything wrong!). That’s what defamation is — lies about something that causes injury to their reputation.

I hope you do get sued. I am not a teacher, I am a parent. But your behavior as you describe it is far more egregious than anything this poor teacher has done in terms of honorifics she chooses for herself.

Back the hell off.

NP here, just read this whole thread. It is entirely proper to resolve this discrepancy. The person states they have a PhD in one source but in others only the lower degrees are verified — this absolutely requires explanation.

Not op here either. Have to say I agree. Requires explanation. A big discrepancy. I wouldn’t want my kids to be calling a professional by incorrect title. It’s unethical and the teacher is not leading with integrity if they are requesting that title to be used and haven’t actually earned doctorate.

But OP’s kids DO NOT GO TO THE SCHOOL. Amazingly, this woman appears to be OP’s neighbor and friend.

GAH! I missed so much today!
I was away from my computer and could not remember my password -- didn't want to post without that!
Of course I see that people think I've been posting to support myself today anyway. SMH

The uptick in activity may be b/c this thread was listed on the home page as most active and Jeff called all those who like a good train wreck to come aboard!

You seem giddy that Jeff is calling you a train wreck. It’s says a lot about your mental health that you think this is an honor. And none of what it shows is good. Show y.our therapist this thread. She deserves to know what she is dealing with.

Was it the exclamation points? Someone earlier criticized my use of the em dash -- is that less giddy or more?

Nope. It’s your excitement at getting any attention, even if the attention is unflattering, at best). May add bipolar to NPD Dx.

I just realized what this thread reminds me of --

When someone in your office sends out a big group email and people start requesting to be taken off the list by hitting Reply All -- and then people start replying telling people to stop hitting Reply All.
And then more people Reply Alland more and more...

I've been called autistic, narcissistic and bat shit crazy on this thread. I've been told to just chill, back away, stop.

But y'all cannot help yourself to keep feeding into the crazy. It's like you want me on that wall, like you need me on that wall.

Welp, I think I better stop hitting Reply All.

It's been quite an education -- thanks All!

BTW— did you ever clarify your own degree. Uouve said it’s an MEd and a PhD at various points. You’ve also said highly regulated, requiring renewals, which is not MEd or PhD. So Dr. Crazy Pants, what is your degree?

Really interesting that op decided to quit the thread as soon as someone asked HER for proof of HER credentials.

All of you snarky people need to focus on being helpful and stop ganging up on op. It’s ridiculous. Op asked a question because the teacher is potentially lacking integrity in her behavior and people target op. So nuts. The real focus should be on the teacher’s desire to falsify her credentials. It’s like this thread includes friends of the teacher. I read a lot of these threads and I’ve never seen harsher words against an op. Makes me think that the teachers’ friends are writing responses to defend deplorable behavior. It’s disgusting the lack integrity and ethics, and regardless if my kids are at this school today or not I’d want to be sure ANY unethical behavior is dealt with at ANY school. Every student deserves a teacher that leads by example in honesty — especially as we see honestly lacking in so many areas.

Stop sock puppeting, OP. Youre embarrassing yourself. And next time you try it, vary your word and phrase choices a lot more.

Hey I’m not op. Just bc I agree with parts of op you think that I’m op. People have different opinions.

Well, the context matters. A medical doctor who lies? A researcher who does? Yep, that’s a big deal. But a doctorate is basically irrelevant to good teaching. Studies have shown the lack of connection between education and what makes a teacher a good one. I believe those were about Master’s degree but the same would hold here. It’s almost the same as a teacher saying something like, I used to be a James Beard winning chef when they weren’t. I know people will disagree with that comparison but it really does not matter unless this person is doing education research. (I say this with no disrespect to teachers. Just that the correlation between advanced degrees and quality teaching isn’t there.

Do I think this person has some mental issues? Absolutely! Does it matter for how well my child learns middle school language arts? Not a bit.

And a PP is right. Teachers talk. They will warn each other and teachers will do what they need to avoid your wrath. That won’t always be in your child’s interest. Unless you switch schools now, I doubt you can undo that damage.

Right- we wouldn't want someone who is TEACHING children to demonstrate the legitimate value of educational attainment honestly. I'm honestly horrified at the number of people in this thread who think a teacher lying about her education is acceptable. I certainly wouldn't want her teaching my kids

Me, too. It’s repulsive. Every person should lead with integrity. We should expect that from anyone. So gross how people trivialize and victimize OP.

Well, the kids don’t know she’s lying unless you’ve told them. So they didn’t learn a bad lesson from that unless you told them.

What? Your reasoning lacks critical thinking. The kids are being misled by an unethical behavior. Why would any parent want their children taught by that. I agree with op that it is ok to ask as if the teacher has degree it just needs to be updated. What’s wrong with asking? Especially if teacher is obligating children to call her a tutor she never earned. That’s the disgraceful part.

Look, OP. It’s clear in all of your “supporting” “NP” replies that English isn’t your first language. Agreeing with yourself will get your threads taken down. Just FYI.

I wrote that. Not op. Not sure why a person would respond to themselves. Unless you did this and now yourself? Oh and English is my native language. Why bring in xenophobia? Does every thread have to do that? So annoying. I am typing fast on a blog. Sounds like you just hate the op and can’t get over the ethical issues yourself.

Time stamps for the last three pro-op being reasonable and sane messages: xx:38, xx:42, xx:50. Looks like op "forgot" her password again.

Well, her kids won’t talk to her and DH escaped to a “work dinner,” and will be home at 11:00 (and immediately shower).

Can you imagine being one of the kids whose mom is stalking your teacher and sending her loony emails trying to prove she “only” has a Masters. Poor kids.

How do you suggest people help OP? She asked a question. People said: it’s probably a bureaucratic snafu, but even if it isn’t, the,EdD wasn’t used in hiring and she isn’t getting paid for it, so let it go.

OP chose not to take that advice and the crazy came out. She claim 3 different doctorates for herself at different points . Used to live across the street from the teacher. Her kids aren’t even in the school any more.she sent a strange (to put it kindly) email.

Until the sockpuppetting OP got universal, it’s NBD advice. And she just kept arguing. She can stop at any time.
