[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are different deadlines.

Also realize that LORs are getting done during evenings and weekends; teachers receive no break from their over-scheduled days to complete these letters, and many of us have 40-50 to write.

Counselors are meeting with and submitting materials for hundreds of students.

Counselors and teachers don’t need your sympathy but we don’t need to be harassed by you either. We know our deadlines and will get everything in by the deadline even if it is at the last possible second. Usually stuff can go in a week after the Nov 1 deadline. I try to make sure all my stuff goes in by Nov 1 otherwise kids and parents completely freak out and I waste a lot of time trying to manage their anxiety. But at the end of the day, we do have later deadlines than students. 
The work is getting done.[/quote]

Most schools require teacher recommendation requests to be made last April and May so these aren’t last minute requests. Counselors should offer hours in August so they can get a head start. Our school didn’t start the counselor process until midSeptember which is crazy. My sympathy is limited given it is a known part of the job. [/quote][/quote]
