The due date at least was online in the myschooldc portal. And it allowed you to prod the teachers by sending them reminders [/quote]

NP but I think this is also a larger issue- how can a kid have a 4.0 and not get an interview? What is DCPS trying to pull with that?  And how can a kid be penalized if the teacher doesn’t enter a rec letter?  It’s just really inequitable.[/quote][/quote]

Getting good grades ≠ being a good and disciplined student in class. Some 4.0 applicants might’ve had bad recommendation letters which therefore made their overall scores ineligible for a walls interview.  [/quote]

I am a teacher and I hear you in general but a 4.0 student in general should not get bad recommendation letters.  Maybe a few here and there but not a bunch of kids.[/quote]

Agreed. Another teacher here. 4.0 kids should get an interview. Maybe 1 out of 50 of these kids is bouncing off the walls and causing daily chaos but by-in-large they're good kids--certainly not ones that have behavior issues enough to cancel out their grades.[/quote]
