Millyvan …this is interesting…if the tone of the teacher was hostile …and you cant tell from reading an email or a post…then yeah i’d give the teacher the stuff and ask for a copy of the recommendation…fairs fair…if the teacher was just asking for more background…thats helpful in some bigger schools the teachers write lots of recommendations. At my shchool my ap gov teacher worte several recomendations for seniors. she had a little questionnaire …probably to help her remember the bullet points for each student…but she also required a meeting with each student who wanted a recommendation. it was about 30 minutes, we reviewed my goals, my high schoold high points and low points and why i wanted to attend each school. it was really helpful for me …and i assume for her. i suggest you suggest your daughter ask for a meeting with this teacher and talk it out.
