[quote=Anonymous]I hear you completely. And it sucks. I had an issue when my kid was applying to high schools two years ago. We followed the school's internal recommendation letter process that had a multiple month lead time.  The deadline got closer and closer and this was the only letter outstanding. My kid checked with the teacher a few days before the deadline and got the assurances the teacher was on it.  Then my kid says teacher was not in school the day before the letters are due and my kid's was still outstanding. I reached out to the AP, asking if we needed to find another teacher to write it last minute, and got further assurances the letter would be done in time. Deadline came and went and no letter. Luckily the school my kid applied to was understanding and allowed a late submission for the letter, and my kid was accepted. But it was needlessly torturous. I told myself all the same stuff that others are telling you about how the teacher will meet the deadline, yada yada. Well, stuff happens and this teacher dropped the ball. I share just to validate your concerns. It's super stressful. But, if my kid's experience is any help, the school did not penalize my kid for something the teacher failed to do.  Best of luck!
