[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this was a national level competition, missing school is unavoidable as scheduling is set by a national federation and results/points often affect national ranking and championship eligibility. [/quote] Sure, but it’s still an issue of excessive absences. If the teacher doesn’t have something strong to write in the letter, then this isn’t a letter that should be sent to colleges. The teacher did a favor by saying no. [/quote] I agree. Students need to learn how to build rapport with teachers. I mentioned the pp because some parents may not understand how it's often annoying for kids that they have to travel during the school year and miss classes, especially if they're taking a bunch of AP or IB classes. National schedules often are aligned so that the champions can represent the U.S. in international competitions, the dates of which are set by international sports federations.[/quote]
