[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How will the schools have any way of knowing that you didn't write the letters yourself, and then place them in the "sealed envelopes"?

I never, ever agree to give kids/parents envelopes containing my letters of rec.  It is kind of putting the teacher on the spot because there is really no way of ensuring that you don't open and read the "sealed" envelopes before submission, in any case.  Think about it.[/quote]

Oh, this is a good point. I was thinking about what we did back in the day with recommendations, signing the back of the envelope. [b]Maybe if I pre-stamp/address the envelopes, the teacher can seal it and put it in the mail?[/b] I'm just looking for a way to make it less work for the teacher, who has tons of paperwork on her plate already. I don't want to make it more complicated in my effort to make it LESS complicated! I appreciate this perspective. Thanks. [/quote]

Yes, this would be fine  I teach high school, btw, and I am asked to do some transfer letters of rec each year.  I have no problems doing the letters for the school's online system (if they have that), or with mailing the letter myself, in a "school" envelope.  [/quote]
