[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is the $250 private school ones are well written and specific. What a great quid pro quo (side money maker and a good loc). [/quote]

I posted above you. Mine are very well-written and specific. I meet with each student before I write the letter so I can figure out what skills / traits to highlight. I want my letter to complement the application. Many of us do this.

[b]It’s simply unusual to get paid for LOC[/b], even at private schools. Most students seem to believe it’s just a part of a teacher’s job. (It’s not.)

Also… I don’t like the idea of quid pro quo. That just feels so, so wrong. I don’t write these letters to make side money. Ew.[/quote]

And yet it is not unusual according to many responses.[/quote]

It’s very unusual. This is DCUM and hardly an accurate representation of parents everywhere.

Most LOR go unacknowledged.

I don’t know a single teacher who has received $200 for a LOR. Not one. [/quote]
