[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole idea is ridiculous. Nobody should be writing a recommendation unless they are familiar with your child. Parents should have zero involvement with this. Tell your kid to find someone that knows them. Absolutely unethical for the counselor to even ask for such a thing and I would tell her that too. I once had a boss ask me to write my own letter and she’d sign it, I told her that was not ethical and found someone else. You should do the same. The college doesn’t want to hear what you think, quite the opposite actually. [/quote] You clearly don't have your student in an overcrowded MCPS HS, where each counselor has hundreds of students and turnover is frequent. It is possible your child's HS Counselor has only been working at the HS a few months or weeks and doesn't know your child at all. The brag sheet helps these overworked, underpaid counselors write the rec letters. [/quote]
