[quote=Anonymous][quote]+1. A student who attended our high school a few years ago (I'm going light on details here so as not to reveal them) competed at an international level throughout high school, including the Olympics, and was the class valedictorian. I'm guessing they had no problem finding a teacher to write a glowing LOR.[/quote] And there is no doubt that they missed many days of school if they were competing internationally, but the school chose to excuse those absences and teachers did not mind because the caliber of the athlete reflected favorably upon the school. Among my child's peers, there are two kids who attend the same school and compete in the same sport - one is earning medals at an international level, the other is middle of the pack at national tournaments. Both excellent students, but guess which one the school accommodates without pushback?[/quote]
