[quote=Anonymous]My DD is a good average student (A’s and B’s with an occasional C depending on the subject). Her main curriculum challenge is in math, but she’s an incredibly hard worker and goes in multiple lunches a week and also does 2x week tutoring after school with her teacher. With the help, she is able to earn a  B (which we are thrilled with).

The guidance counselors told the kids to ask the teachers they had close relationships with for recommendations so that they could address the student’s strengths. My DD thought her math teacher could highlight her strength of hard work and perseverance and certainly knows her best, so thought he’d be a great resource.

He straight out said no and that he only will do recommendations for students who earn A’s. This is really rubbing her (and me) the wrong way. I’m okay with him saying no to the recommendation, but to say it’s because she earns B’s in math with a math disability?

She is perseverating about it and now I am too. I’m curious what you all think about this? I have helped her find other teachers to ask but can she really only ask teachers that she gets A’s with? Because those are the teachers she has less of a relationship with because she needs less support. Thoughts?[/quote]
