[quote=Anonymous][quote=FCPSAlumnowMom][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe she's been ABD somewhere for a long time and decided to just go for it and call herself Dr. [/quote]

This would be fraudulent. Being ABD is not even close to earning the actual Ph.D.  I say this as someone who is ABD myself. [/quote]

I don't think it's fraudulent to call yourself Dr. and let people assume you have a doctorate. If you submit a false credential that would be fraud.[/quote]

What? “Fraudulent” means “unjustifiably claiming or being credited with particular accomplishments or qualities.“. Claiming to have a Ph.D. when you do not have a Ph.D. is fraudulent. [/quote]

I could make my students call me Mrs even though I'm not married. Like Dr. X I would not be lying about a condition of my employment and I would not benefit financially, so it would be weird but who exactly am i defrauding?[/quote]

False equivalents -- your marital status doesn't necessarily prepare you for teaching a subject matter, managing a classroom, etc -- a degree in something like the "PhD in Education studies" in theory does.[/quote][/quote]
