[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear this a lot. You can't call yourself Dr. unless you have an MD, otherwise it's just pretentious. Only the MDs are "real doctors." And for some reason it's even OK for the MD to use Dr. in a social, non-professional setting but not the PhD or EdD. Why? It's especially common on the right. The mockery of our First Lady's earned degree is commonplace. [/quote] It’s because “doctorates” in education are worthy of scorn. The quality of research is ridiculous.[/quote] What's your educational background? [/quote]
