I tell my students they can call me anything but "Mrs." or "Miss". I
even tell them there is no "Mr. Fallshore", so the Mrs. doesn't make any
sense (of course, this causes them to assume I'm not married). I tell
them they can call me Ms. Fallshore, Dr. Fallshore, Dr. Marte, or just
plain Marte, I don't care so long as they don't use the Mrs. or Miss. It
is interesting to hear what others do about this issue. It always seems
that it's the students that I don't want to call me by my first name
that do and the ones I don't care about, don't. My .02,
I gave up the fight long ago (there are better hills to die on ;-).
The closest thing to an objection is when I am called "Doc".
Then I sometimes tell them to take two aspirin and call me in the morning.
