[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the obvious takeaway is that your daughter has the wrong impression. Most professors do not prefer to have undergrads a dress them by their first name. Just because many professors have chosen not to correct her rudeness does not make it any less rude.

Note that not one, but two people have pulled your daughter aside to address her rude behavior. These people are trying to help her. Instead of taking the feedback and improving her manners you want to advise your daughter to insist that everyone likes her rudeness?!?

To be clear, they want to never be fired (tenure), fat salaries, pension, barely teach, we have to pay $60,000 a year for each kid's undergrad, [b]and our kids better bootlick, or else[/b]? Gimme a break. Any professor who cares needs to get over themselves. Especially some hack liberal arts professor regurgitating the same lectures every semester about books written 400 years ago. You're not curing cancer, PROFESSOR.[/quote]

Why are your kids going to colleges with hack professors and why are they studying liberal arts? If you wanted them at a better institution with better professors and for them to be learning better things than liberal arts then it seems like you should have done a better job of raising them.[/quote]
