[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get thank yous — this seems doable. But two thoughts: — The students don’t want to ask. They have to. They are giving this system and don’t feel in a position of choice (esp if the teacher teaches English or math). That may be why they fail to realize why it’s an extra and a pain in the neck for you. — A “token of appreciation”? In the context, it would feel bribe-like if the custom were to give gift cards, etc, for letters of recommendation.[/quote] By token, I mean a chocolate bar or something along those lines…by no means a bribe. 20 letters written, 1 thank you this year. I just might not have it in me to do this again. And we aren’t required, so that’s okay. [/quote] Yep. I teach Upper ES and always get flooded for kids that need recs for their middle school privates. 10-15 kids each taking 1-2 hrs, plus sometimes phone follow ups and additional info comes out to an extra week of work/year[/quote]
