[quote=Anonymous]My kid’s counselor’s requested such a form from parents and it took me by surprise- it was eight in-depth questions and it was clear parents were being asked to basically write the recommendation.
I was caught off guard when I sat down to look at it a few nights before it was due. 
I’m fine with them looking for parents to help here. I get they don’t know the kids that well.

But I attended a Senior Parent Night in September run by the Counseling dept and no one gave a heads up to the roomful of parents (would have been a perfect time to mention this) with an explanation of what they needed parents to do. Rather it was all about how the process was the responsibility of the student and parents just needed to stand back and support.

I feel bad for the kids who sprung this on their parents last minute- and may not get it completed.

Final thing while I’m complaining- wish some me of these senior year tasks had been described to students/parents at the end of junior year. My kid wishes she had worked on her essay and looked at the common AP cover the summer.
