Re: "Dr." and all that



I teach at a high school with one other teacher who also has an Ed.D. We
both find some of our students like to refer to us as Dr. ___________, while
others use Mr. or Mrs. Neither of us makes an issue of it. Interestingly,
within the last year we have hired two science teachers, one a recent
graduate of a naturopathic college who is teaching part-time until she sets
up her practice and the other a retired chiropractor. Both of these
teachers always identify themselves as Dr._______.

It's a high school & I'm the only "Doc" there, but my friend tells me
she has just been hired. If that's so, we will have 2 & we can find out.
I'd guess the answer will be no. Besides, most of my students do not
call me Doc & I feel uncomfortable telling them to do so.

My preferred appellation is "Doc", which seems to finesse the "too

Do they call _all_ of their professors "Doc"?
