<p>“I see things in my children that set them apart from others and that is where my input for the GC would be relevant.”</p>
<p>Still don’t agree, and still find the concept of a “parent brag sheet” objectionable. I don’t have an issue with a parent taking a look at a child’s GC submission to check it for errors and omissions, but that seems to be a far cry from what is being discussed here. With reliance upon parental input, the recommendation is no longer a GC recommendation, but a joint GC/parental one. If what a parent “sees in a child” is not also manifested in the child’s high school persona and accomplishments, it’s far too subjective and personal to belong in a GC’s recommendation. If colleges were interested in a parent’s unique perspective and insight, they would ask for parental recommendations. They never do.</p>
