I'd imagine it isn't used in companies where rank isn't based on education level, but it's very common in academia. For example, it's rude for me as a grad student to just use a professor's first name without using a title.
- skybrian 10y agoYes, in high school, I remember using "Mr", "Mrs" or "Ms". In college I remember referring to professors as "professor." But it seems different for a teacher to put themselves above other teachers at the same school and expecting others to remember that?
- Cyph0n 10y agoI don't see it that way. The request was within the boundaries of the classroom. It would definitely be different if the teacher also expected his/her peers to do the same.
