[quote=Anonymous]OP posted two years ago but I’m going to reply if it can help anyone since I’ve been asked to write a lot of these. I frequently say yes, feeling like if they ask me I’m one of their best options. I won’t lie but I won’t put in anything negative. I can find something positive to say. I’ve said no when I don’t actually teach the student. I’ve had students email who I only had freshman year in a club and they moved two years ago. I need to have taught them in an academic subject. I’ve asked them to really think about if they want me to write it if I was their teacher in 9th or 10th grade. I tell them it’s better to have a more recent teacher if the recommendation is for college. I have never been asked to write more than 15 college recommendations in a year. [/quote]
