[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on our experience, some teachers do the recs over the summer, and others take the summer off (their right to do, since they are not paid) and do them when school resumes.  Both of my kid's recommenders got their recs in by the application deadlines, but later than my kid submitted, and it had zero negative impact on anything.  It is frankly not reasonable to ask teachers, at public school at least,  to get them in any earlier than that just because a kid wants to submit before the deadline.  And if memory serves, the rolling schools to which my kid submitted did not require teacher recs.

So teacher want eager and hard working students but not so eager and hard working that it requires teachers to work earlier than they would like? Ok.[/quote]

DP.

I don’t understand your negative perspective here. Using the PP’s example:

If a student submits an application in September, but the teacher waits until October to submit a recommendation… guess what? NOTHING CHANGES. The students’ application isn’t going to be reviewed until after the 11/1 deadline anyway.

I appreciate you just want to insult teachers, but at least find a legitimate reason. [/quote]
