[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of your job though is a subjective definition. It is an implied part of the job. It is not stated explicitly and will not affect your evaluation. For HS teachers writing college recommendations, they are free to set the limit at 5 or 20+. Also, good teachers get punished by having to write many more than weaker teachers. [/quote] I wrote over 30 college recommendations last summer. I agree with other posters that each one takes 1-1.5 hours of my own time to complete. I received one thank you. Even if people assume it is part of my job (which it isn’t), good etiquette would still suggest that a thank you is appropriate. I don’t want a gift card, candy, etc. One student sent me an emailed “thank you” and I was very appreciative. My own kid will be applying for college next year. I’ll be encouraging her to send a note of appreciation to her teachers. [/quote]
