teacher evaluation question

Son is now an official candidate. Very exciting, but have a question.

Teacher evaluation-
Math teacher is from Junior year, that's fine

English teacher is from Sophomore year (His Junior teacher was anti-military)
Does he scrap the Sophomore teacher and pray the Junior teacher will be fair, despite her bias? He got a great grade, but he's nervous about her.

Extra-subject- he wanted to highlight his Chinese studies, and his sophomore chinese teacher from Asian international school would be perfect...but again, no sophomore teachers allowed. She and son have kept in contact and she has been mentoring him over the past year. What to do.

So, basically is it true that USAFA will throw out Sophomore teacher evaluations? He has back ups (just not for English!), but when older son applied, USAFA counselor told him not to use a Junior English teacher that was anti-military and use the sophomore teacher.

Best thing to do is call his Academy counselor and see what she/he has to say. They are the best source of answers for your type of question.

Thanks Hornetguy. Son emailed counselor and she already replied. Must be Junior or Senior teacher.
