Teachers, do what you say you’ll do in a timely manner. [/quote]

High school English teacher here, and I was asked to do 32 letters of rec for kids applying this year.

1.  It takes me a minimum of about an hour to do a thoughtful, individualized letter of rec.

2.  My contract does not require me to write these letters of rec.  I agree to do them because I want to help, and I will have every one of them done by the deadline.  If you are going to prod and pester me because you don't trust that I will submit the letter on time, then ask another teacher.

3.  If your child were so breathtakingly rude as to appear in my classroom, sit down, and inform me he/she was going to wait while I finished the letter, I would probably be annoyed enough to do it.  The results would not be what you expect and intend in advising this course of action.[/quote]
