[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Professor here. My experience has been humorous. I introduce myself at the first class and tell the students it's fine to call me by my first name. Then, over the course of the semester, I find that the students who call me professor are the ones I'd be happy to call me by my first name, and the students who call me by my first name are the ones I really wish would call me professor.[/quote] Why do you think that is? My kid would be the one continuing to call you Professor, because you are in a position of authority and deserve that sign of respect. You aren’t his peer or his equal. I’ve had people tell me that it is disrespectful for my son to call them Mr. or Mrs. when they want to be called by their first name. I find that the more insecure they are, the more adults insist on first names. [/quote]
