can i ask my teacher for a copy of the rec?

<p>so i did check the "waive rights" box on the common app.
but the teacher showed me the rec to proofread for errors and see if i liked it.
however, he didnt give me a copy.</p>

<p>is it impolite/wrong to ask the teacher for a copy to keep?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t do it, but it’s up to you.</p>

<p>why don’t u just copy it?</p>

<p>i just proofread for him and gave it back, it wasnt a take home kind of thing.
i guess high school recs arent too important to keep in the grand scheme of things anyway.</p>

<p>If it was ok, you don’t need it beyond this year.</p>
