[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there aren't any schools where most/many faculty prefer to be called by their first names? You think OP's DD was just wrong about that?[/quote] No, that’s not what we are saying. We are saying you err on the side of formal-Dr, professor, Mr or Mrs until they specifically tell you otherwise. And you do it with every professor and advisor, etc. [b]I really don’t understand why this is so difficult to understand[/b]. [/quote] Um.. because the OP's DD said most of the faculty wanted to be called by their first names?[/quote] You really are struggling with seeing the full picture here. DD [b]said [/b] this. 14 pages of posters are confirming that DD is wrong, and offering speculation about how DD might have arrived at this erroneous conclusion. DD needs to become more aware of social and professional boundaries and protocol. This will probably involve realizing that Mom is not a good guide in this.[/quote]
