[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a good life lesson for both OP and her DD. I don’t know how you go through life as a decently socialized person without realizing that you default to formal address for those higher in command than you. This includes superiors at work and professors/teachers at school. [b]Always wait until you are invited to address them casually; never assume[/b]. It’s offensive. [/quote] Did you even read the OP? She said most of the faculty preferred to be on a first name basis. [/quote] Well, she says that [i]her daughter says[/i] most faculty prefer first-name basis. But we know her daughter doesn't understand academic norms and boundaries. Moreover, we know the daughter's behavior to be so egregious that an advisor was involved. We also know OP blew off that involvement. There's enough here to presume the daughter is mistaken. [/quote]
