[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You don’t have a right to treat high school as the lowest priority and then get upset when people call you out on it.[/quote]

You do if you are a recruited athlete.  I did not read the whole thread but that is a valid reason to miss school.[/quote]

No, you don’t.

+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]
  
Why do you have to go light on details for an Olympic competitor?  For example, anyone that knows fencing knows that Tatiana Nazlymov made the Olympic team while at GDS and now fences for Princeton.  Olympic competitors aren't a secret.

BTW, Princeton couldn't give a shit about her LOR unless a teacher wrote something like she is worried that Tatiana will one day chop someone's head off with a sword.
