Ghostwriting a rec?

<p>My teacher wrote my rec and wanted me to take a look at it and add whatever I wanted. I fixed some grammar errors and outlined a point about me Id like her to include. This should be fine right?</p>

<p>wow. i wish my teachers would let me do that.</p>

<p>One of my teachers did that for me also. It should be fine, she said she has done it for other students in the past</p>

<p>whoaaa…
“she has done it for other students in the past,”?
unethical much?
I’m surprised the teachers aren’t just letting you write the rec for them.
At my school no faculty member will agree to a letter unless you waive your write to see it, let alone doctor it</p>

<p>I know of a new teacher at my school who is doing this too. This is very unethical I agree, she lets the students write their own rec and basically just uses that. Is there any way I could report her?</p>

<p>^lol no, it’s very common for students to draft recommendation letters actually.</p>

<p>yep it’s pretty common and it’s not unethical.</p>

<p>How is not unethical? Kinda defeats the purpose of waiving the rights to see it if you write it yourself…</p>

<p>um…no joke. i havent heard about this but it sounds like a TERRIBLE practice to me.
and unfair.</p>

<p>hence, the “i waive my right” bubble makes all the difference.</p>
