<p>Isn’t the rating supposed to over the course of the teacher’s carreer? Sorry but I have to say that top 10% over the teacher’s entire creer is still a fabulous feather in the student’s cap. Personally I would be flabbergasted if a student questioned me as to why I ranked them as I had. I wouldn’t allow my shock to reflect on the student’s rec but it would floor me and leave me with a bad taste re the studen’t lack of grace. Remind your friend that this teacher, depending upon her/his years of experience has perhaps had thousands of students grace their room and to be in the top 6 to10% is a good thing.</p>
