[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I would argue that there will be a ton of bias in favor of kids coached by the teacher that you described. [/quote] That's akin to saying that teachers will be biased in favor of the kids that they think are really smart. I don't see why it would be a problem for the teacher who knows the kid best and has spent tons of time working with the kid to write a recommendation. That teacher would have the best perspective. Of course, TJ admissions should compare any and all recommendations from the same teacher. If they're all pretty much the same, they should be discounted. Usually, though, the very top kids get the stellar recommendations, and the rest get ones that if you read between the lines, they pretty clearly show that the kid is decent but nothing special.
