[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]high schoolers are often unaware of the effort involved (and your many other time commitments). but you should still try to feel proud to be helping them.[/quote] Has a teacher here said they are not? I posted above about spending 1.5 hours writing each letter. I spent over 40 hours… a whole work week… writing letters during my unpaid summer last year. I’m happy to do it, but I will definitely acknowledge that the rare “thank you” follow-up is greatly appreciated. At our school, the counseling department suggests to students that they should do it. It still rarely happens. I suspect it’s an “out of sight / out of mind” feeling students get once their applications are finally submitted. I get it. I think that’s why it’s a good idea to also reinforce this idea at home. They’ll need to know the same thing is appropriate when they are adults (after interviews, etc). [/quote]
