[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting rid of the teacher recommendations was a big mistake. My kid still got in, but I hope they bring back the recommendations in the future. A teacher who knows the student can provide a lot more insight than just grades, particularly when with grade inflation there are tons of kids applying with straight As. Even the colleges that have decided not to consider SAT/ACT (such as the UC schools) continue to require teacher recommendations. [/quote] Pro-reform and completely agree. They need to be re-engineered and evaluators need to be trained to detect bias within a group of recommendations, but eliminating them takes away the single best way to get a sense of how a student contributes to the overall academic environment outside of their grades.[/quote]
