Yeah, I've noticed that the insistence on being called "Doctor" varies inversely with the rigor of the discipline.

I have known a couple of mathematicians and physicists who are so intellectually impressive that I was actually more comfortable calling or referring to them as Dr. so-and-so. That was before I was a Dr. So-and-so myself, though.

I also find it interesting that the Ed.D's are usually the ones that insist on being called "Doctors".  

I'm surrounded by PhDs, in real disciplines, and none of us insist on being called "doctor"

What would you consider a fair wage to be for a teacher?

There's ample evidence that education students have the lowest scholarly aptitudes on average.

Everyone, including the teachers I know personally, knows that ed programs are a joke.
