[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care enough about this to figure out which poster is uneducated and which one is pompous, but it's been common around here to refer to educators who've received a doctorate as "Dr." for a long time.  It's hardly some new honorific that arrived in FCPS with Michelle Reid.  [/quote]

Yeah every superintendent going back as far as I can remember (Jack Dale) was referred to as Dr. This is nothing new. [/quote]

FACT CHECK: Just did a search of Fairfax County Public Schools Forum (on DCUM).  Typed in "Jack Dale."  Pages of messages without Dr.[/quote]

Dp, I generally agree with the poster who said they only us Dr for medical doctors, but there are other specific positions and professions where using the Dr title is common. Superintendent is one of them. I grew up in a western state where our Superintendent was definitely referred to as Dr too.

It may not be necessary to use the title on a message board like this, but it's not new or unusual *in general* to refer to a Superintendent with a doctorate by the title Dr.[/quote]
