No, they are not related. The term "who's who" is not copyrighted, and lends itself to pretenders and businesspeople.

We all like for our hard work to be recognized, but the 'who's Who' pretenders are not really anything to brag about; they are hocking a product, not a genuine honor. It's nothing to be proud of. Administrators know it for what it is, and listing it on a resume, as that url on my previous post stated, tells a superintendent that you are naive, inexperienced, and provincial, and none of us want to advertise that fact even when we are. And I include myself in that.

When I had been teaching only a few years, my students nominated me and I fell for it. I went so far as to let the newspaper here do an article about me being in the book. Boy, was my face red when more experienced teachers pointed out to me what that "honor" really meant. I guess professional people all over the county were giggling at my falling for it. I would hate for that to happen to any of you.

My advice: if you want your name to be in print, write a book.
