<p>Why do you have to have this teacher write for you? Schools that I know about don’t specify which teachers write for you; they say they prefer two different academic teachers (that is, they would rather not have art, PE, or other elective teachers-- for some unknown reason). Does your HS say this teacher must write? I would say that colleges would be, rightfully, confused if they got two very different letters. On the other hand, perhaps you can speak with this teacher before you ask him, and then depending on what he says, you can probably trust that he will do the right thing! Good luck!</p>
