[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always write positive recommendations, otherwise I decline politely to write the letter.

Don’t be an asshat by agreeing then writing a red flag letter. [/quote]

But it is okay for the student to game the system by being absent for tests then probably asking people what was on the test, have others record the test, and/or having more time to study?  A student like this is going to whine to admin why they didn’t get a letter of recommendation. [/quote] Since you're fine making accusations with no evidence, why don't you add drug use during their absences as well? Maybe some larceny for good measure?[/quote]

How dumb do you think high school teachers are? You don't think it was telling that the student said they were going to be absent, then all of a sudden when the teacher said they were going to create another test just for the student, miraculously the student showed up for the original test. The student has a history of being absent on test days and not other days. It is obvious what is happening- the student is gaming the system by being absent then getting the questions from friends or friends are recording the test on their phones and selling the tests. The level of cheating on tests in high schools is out of control. [/quote]
