[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think at this point you should message the teachers. And also, there is no harm in using chatGPT to craft more personal e-mails. [/quote]

What to say in the message to the teacher?[/quote]
OP ideally, get your DS to write the follow up email.  But if you have to do it yourself, what you would write to the teacher depends on a few things.

Did he give the teacher a deadline for the rec to be submitted, and then make it clear that he had a backup recommender, so the teacher should let him know by X date if they could do it or if they would rather he ask his backup?

Did he give the teacher basic details about the internship (where, what, etc) and also, include the form for the teacher to fill out or the address to which to send the letter?

Did he give the teacher some material to put into the rec (to jog the teacher's memory - which period class, what grade he got, a particular assignment, unit or aspect of the class he felt he nailed, or something about him the teacher might highlight to show he would be a good fit for the internship)?

Also, is he sitting passively waiting for you or the teacher to take care of it, or catastrophizing about the teacher's lack of response, or is he unwilling to write a follow-up based on the advice in this thread, but asking for your help?  This will determine your approach to the teacher.  [/quote]
