[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been teaching in top private schools in the US, UK, and Europe for almost 20 years. I give advice on letters of rec/application packages each year for many students, and yes, it has become increasingly common for students to lie. My privileged students have been trained to identify a financial or psychological obstacle, then embellish, embellish, embellish. Or just make something up. It is very disheartening. Admin know and will not listen to or support teachers who try to bring this up. At this point, I consider the letter of rec process to be a creative writing contest. [/quote]
