[quote=Anonymous]Wow, two of my high school teachers with Ph.D.'s used the title "Dr." That would also be fine for any educationally relevant degree, such as D.Ed. A rapper can call himself Dr. Dre or Grandmaster Flash, but not at a hospital or chess tournament. An "ABD" is an all-but-dissertation, i.e., dropout. It is not a degree, and clearly does not count. This would be annoying and pretentious at a post office job, but is clearly fraudulent in an educational setting. What if she asked to be called "Principal" or "Superintendant" or "Chancellor"? You can make the argument for tolerance by calling people by the name and title they prefer. In that case, some of her students might wish to be called "Dr.". [/quote]
