I’m stuck between two math teachers. I already asked my physics teacher ( taught me 10 and 11th) to write a rec. She loves me and we’re very close.
Math is my strongest subject and extracurricular so it would make sense for me to ask a math teacher.
my first choice is my 10th grade pre calculus teacher who is super nice and likes me alot. she retired last year. my second choice is my 9th 11th and 12th grade math teacher who is super involved with competitions and math club. she knows more about what’s going on but I feel that she might not like me. maybe I’m being paranoid but my parents don’t think she’s nice or trying to help me succeed. sometimes I think my parents misunderstood her but sometimes I’m scared that I’m the one wrong about her. one time she addressed my mother in an email by my mothers full name without a Mrs or ms. sometimes she’s really nice to me and hugs me or congratulates me for my achievements. but sometimes she says things that kind of imply that I’m a teacher’s pet or a mindless drone. I can never tell if she’s joking. that’s why I’m i doubtful towards the quality of her rec if I ask her to write one. is it ok to ask my 10th grade teacher? Or does that look suspicious since the other math teacher had me longer?
