The teachers usually want an email anyway because a lot of them will ask the student for some bullet points as reminders of what the kids has done in class.

There was a requirement to ask the teachers face to face [/quote]

Is this requirement in the application information from TJ or is this an individual middle school/teacher requirement?  I don’t remember seeing this the year my child applied.

0931 here. This was not a requirement in the application information from TJ. It seems to be an individual teacher requirement. 
The teacher who required a face to face request had strict requirements on internal deadline dates such as 1) talk to me by x date 2) provide me with your answers to my questionnaire by x date. This teacher had talked to the students about this process when school started. Teacher also rounded up the semifinalists in class to remind them of the internal process. I thought this teacher was well organized. The other teacher didn't ask for anything at all!

I will agree that this application process has a lot of logistical hoops- but then again, everything has logistical hoops. I did pay attention to all the dates myself, wrote them all on the family calendar.  DS had a pretty good handle on the deadlines but I still sat with him when he logged into the TJ portal to enter the teacher names.  Anticipating any system glitches,  i had him screenshot the "Your request for teacher recommendations have been submitted" confirmation.

I imagine that applying for college will be just like this, but with multiple schools. [/quote]
