[quote=Anonymous]My kids attend/attended a high performing MCPS HS. The oldest were good students but not standouts in that competitive environment. They still managed to get strong letters written. The key is they need to take the time during the school year to get to know their teachers if they want to have a shot at a thoughtful letter. This means they need to actively participate in classes and see teachers during advisory. They should put forth effort and always be respectful. The counselors warn the kids to ask for letters early on and not wait for the end of junior year when teachers have already reached their limit. We can’t expect teachers to say yes to every student. That’s unreasonable. My youngest is the weakest student of my 3 but I have faith he will find someone to write letters. [/quote]
