[quote=Anonymous]One strategy is to ask the student for a resume, and a bullet pointed list of what they's like you to highlight in the letter. They may see you as the person who thinks they are funny, talented, smart, punctual, etc., because other people don't like them. You could also say, "I need you to know that my style is to be very honest and include the things you need to work on, like attendance, so maybe there is someone who knows you better that would write a stronger one,". You can also say, "I am so sorry. Several people have already asked me and I limit myself to a certain number a year/only students in my homeroom/only students in the ____ club," but then you have to make sure the next kid that asks gets the same response. BTW, there is a great Sopranos episode about this topic. [/quote]
