[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does everybody always act so put out by the recommendation letters? When they asked for mine I told them I haven’t worked in a while so I would give them two personal recs instead and they could not have cared less. Are people actually asking/trying, or are they just seeing the requirement and figuring it’s a lost cause?[/quote]

Probably B, and good--screening out lazy folks who can't make an effort. The kind of people who end up on FCPS's sub roll, but only want to sub at their kid's schools...as if that is the job.[/quote]

Because it's an unnecessary obstacle to keeping schools open. [/quote]

How does the system decide who the capable and safe SAHPs are versus the unsafe ones? They can't, not really, but a recommendation lettter is the very lowest level firewall.Your only argument can't be "keep schools open at any cost," even if that cost is cutting corners on who is spending time with our kids. And the system SHOULDN'T do it because you know very well you get one abusive SAHP in there who didn't have a recommendation or the right documents, and parents, including me, would be screaming bloody murder that the school system didn't meet the very basic LOW requirements.
