Why does it say doctorate if the recipient isn't a doctor? Does it somehow diminish the value of a medical doctorate, or a PhD?
I just don't understand why anyone cares what someone wants to be called. If you work in education and have a doctorate of education, then flaunt that sucker.

My son's elementary school teacher has an EdD and insists that the students and parents call her "Doctor". Annoying for the parents (at least for me) and confusing for the kids.

An Ed.D. is NOT a Ph.D.
It's like calling a massage therapist a doctor.

Normally, I don't care if people call me Dr. or not. But, me, with my PhD in physics, require you to call me Dr. Why? because if you will be an a-hole, I will to.

1. A lot of professional jealousy in prior posters' comments if you have to piss on someone else's hard work. A loser move.
2. Yes, dr is overused, esp by Ed D. Why? Because a lot of folks don't realize it is a doctoral degree as is a PhD, so I think they feel the need to advertise it.
3. What could any of you possibly care what others call themselves? If you want to talk irritating, how about the folks that name their kids Queen or Prince for heaven's sake? It's a dog's name! Or First Lady so-and-so, the pastor's wife. First Lady?! Give me an f'ing break.

Huh? In the rare case that I am writing something in first person, I write Dr. So and So. Otherwise, I write, So and So PhD. I earned it and will add it to my signature line.

It drives me nuts when people put MBA on their email signature. It says a lot about them.

NO ONE should be going by "Mrs." professionally. That's weird.
+1 I know people who put Larla Jones, MBA or MPA in their signature and business cards. That's a lot worse. An EdD is as real as any other PhD and anyone can "buy" a degree at an online university these days, it's not specific to education.

It's not even a real doctorate. ex. Dr. Jill Biden, MCPS superintendent Dr. Jack R. Smith, and every school administrator I've ever met forces doctor.
Susan Rice has a real PhD but only goes by Mrs. Rice. Modest.
