Error in teacher rec states S is "contentious", not "conscientious" -- now what?

Sounds like the context within the rest of the letter will allow the reader to realize that the writer didn’t mean to say “contentious.”

However…if you still want to try to get it corrected…does the guidance office at your school get copies of the recs written by teachers? If yes…maybe you could approach guidance…and honestly tell them you read through the envelope…ask them to read the rec…and perhaps they could contact the teacher to correct it.
