<p>Hi, I am need of some help I suppose.</p>
<p>Most of the colleges I am looking at either require teacher recommendations or recommend them. I understand, that recommend does not mean it is expected, but I want to make the best impression on the schools I am applying to.</p>
<p>So, here's my dilemma. Our teachers are on the verge of striking. It has gotten to the point that they will NOT write out ANY teacher recommendations for ANYONE. I think this is part of their "protest". I really have no idea.</p>
<p>So, in the long run....will this hurt me in the application process? Should I write somewhere on the application that it is not possible for me to get any teacher recommendation because they are probably going to go on strike shortly?</p>
<p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!</p>
