<p>My son graduated high school last year. I had a similar problem with counselors etc…, My sister-in-law who is a middle school principal broke it all down for me in very simple terms.</p>
<p>Of course initially your child needs to follow up on the request. If he/she gets no response, it is the parent’s responsibility to step in. </p>
<p>The teachers and counselors already have their degrees! It is our responsibility as parents to make sure our child gets into college. </p>
<p>People can say what they want, when I see my child walk across the stage with his college diploma, my work is done!</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
