[quote=Anonymous]I simply cannot write a thoughtful, detailed rec for every student who asks because there is no time. I do it case by case, and will be doing a few for people who scored 2s on the AP Lang exam, but these kids worked hard and did show significant growth. I give my classes a timeline and tell them that anyone who wants a letter if rec needs to see me privately to ask, and it must be done by a certain date so that I have time to work on it. I do write thoughtful, detailed recs. However, I refuse to write one for any student who has been caught cheating in my class or anyone else’s class, and I won’t write one for any student who has ever had a parent contact me to attempt to have a grade changed, or any student who pleaded for a “bump” in grade. We all have to draw the line somewhere and say no to some kids. I do not think you understand how many weekend hours these take.[/quote]
