<p>From Archie: “D goes to a large public high school with not enough GCs and the parent questionnaire is required to get a GC recommendation.” This seems pretty straight forward to me. Guidance requires it. </p>
<p>Just a mom of 4:“Because your own daughter should be perfectly capable of doing it herself. Why should she need you to do it for you.” The student probably had a different form that she filled out.</p>
<p>All schools have different requirements. And if you want to get along, you just do what you are told. If I had been asked to fill out some form by the college counselor (which DD’s school did not do), I would have just filled out the darned form, and you can be sure that the travel would have been on it. It would not have occured to me that it might look as though we were wealthy.</p>
