<p>I am a teacher's aide for one class; is it okay to ask that teacher to write me a letter of recommendation or do colleges not like the teachers from non-core classes to write you a letter of recommendation? i am actually quite fond with this teacher though because she was my teacher for math freshman year but now i am a senior and teacher aiding for her.</p>

<p>You gotta recall the purpose of a rec letter. It’s not to say you’re a nice person who works hard and has “character”. It’s to highlight your influence of your peers, any outstanding academic performance/potential, your leadership, and particular personal strengths.</p>
<p>While this teacher might be able to add some of the last points, she can’t reasonably comment on the others. Likely other teachers in your life can do better – thus, it’s in your best interest to ask another teacher.</p>
<p>It might be OK to ask this teacher for a third, supplemental rec letter if you’re not otherwise turning in a third.</p>
