What is the purpose of letters of recommendation?

<p>It is certainly not my intention to insult anyone, and if you felt so, I am sorry.
The thing is that in my school I see a few kids really building a special relationship with the teachers. Also, there are so many special kids such as teacher’s children or the principal’s children, or the teachers friends children or the donor’s children etc. Aren’t the LOR for these kids biased ?They shouldn’t but I suspect they are somehow.</p>
