should i ask a teacher for a rec if...

Applying to College

<p>i fooled around a little bit in her class?
i was kind of a "class clown" i guess, but not in a distracting/slowed down the class way at all. just that i would sometimes talk to my friends and joke around with the teacher, but at the same time, i always answered questions and did very well in her class. plus she basically asked me to take her AP class and knows my personality pretty well.</p>

<p>is it still risky to ask for a letter though? i mean i don't want her to think i didn't take her class seriously and end up writing something like that on the rec letter..</p>

<p>yes may be it will be better for you</p>

<p>Why don’t you simply ask her if she would write a positive letter for you, or if she thinks you should look elsewhere? She knows the contents of her letter better than we possibly could.</p>

<p>This. Always ask with a way out for them in case they don’t want to write your rec or feel that they couldn’t write a good rec for you.</p>

<p>What you described sounds like it could make for a rec, though.</p>

<p>Thanks, guys :slight_smile:
I ended up asking her and she didn’t even let me finish the question and said “oh yes, of course” haha it was really sweet</p>

<p>Depends how do you think she feels about you?</p>
