<p>ABSOLUTELY agree with heyalb; do NOT ask your superintendent to submit a recommendation if he can’t personally attest to who you are as a student and a person.</p>

<p>While that sentiment may be true, it is pretty standard practice for a teacher to ask a student for their resume before writing a recommendation. Every teacher at my school asks students for their resume or to fill out some kind of information sheet, if only to get a more complete understanding of what goes on outside the classroom. Most of my teachers, at least, said that they generally don’t directly make much use of the resume, but that it is nice to see before writing the recommendation.</p>
