Teacher Rec Dilemma

Is it common courtesy to tell a teacher who has already sent in your recs that you didn’t need his/her recs because you were accepted under ED to another school? btw this teacher didn’t write for the ED school
will the teacher become angry because s/he felt that the rec went to waste?
hope it’s not to confusing…

<p>Just write the teacher a thank you note for writing your rec. You don't need to tell her it was a waste of her time...</p>

<p>i agree. make sure to write thank-yous.</p>
