<p>usually, how many recs would you ask a teacher to write...assuming they only write one and change the name of each school? like around five or 6? would 7-8 be too many and **** off the teacher?</p>
<p>Once a teacher agrees to write your recs, it is assumed that he will write for as many schools as you apply to. The best rec-writers don't just write form letters and change the name of the school; they try and customize the letter to some degree. At least that's what my daughter's teacher said she was doing.
Just bring the teacher a nice note of appreciation and a gift afetr all the recs are done.</p>
