paying3-your post reminded me of something my son experienced. He took AP statistics and AP computer science with the same math teacher. He(the teacher) was quite odd and a bit OCD. He would arrange all the desks in his classroom by color and as a joke(?) students would occasionally mix them up.

Anyway, our son received a very well written note that summer from the teacher congratulating him on his two 5’s. As a result of that note he(son) asked him for a recommendation. All letters of rec go to the guidance office and are only read by the GC who makes the decision which ones to include with each application. Our son’s GC told our son that he would be sending Mr B’s LofR with every single application. I guess it was a really good one.

And all as a result of that summer note!
