[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a DCPS teacher who writes recommendations and also have a child applying for Walls this year.  Even with 4.0 students, there are many differences.  Students who stay on top of their work and test well are going to be much more successful at a rigorous school like Walls or Banneker as opposed to a 4.0 student who has a great deal of anxiety around schoolwork or testing or a 4.0 student whose parents clearly do a lot of work for them or a 4.0 student who does all of their work in the last two weeks of the term.  Teachers notice these things, so there are some nuances in terms of recommendations, even for students who all have a 4.0.[/quote]

Could you please share some examples of what the recommendations asked and how recommenders would fill it out?

I was ready for my kid not to get in, but I was not ready for them to not even get an interview so am really trying to understand this part of the process. [/quote]

If the teacher’s kid was applying to Walls  this year, let’s hope that she didn’t write any Walls letters of rec for other kids….  That would be a huge conflict of interest. [/quote]
