[quote=pbraverman][quote=Anonymous]The schools ask for recs from “current” teachers.  Can we ask teachers from last year?  DC is in 8th grade - so can 7th grade teachers be asked?[/quote]

Unless there is some truly extenuating circumstance, no. I don't think it's a good idea to give a school reason to disqualify part of your child's application.
