<p>Recommendations are very important to this application process. Our D totally disregarded our suggestions for choosing the three teachers that she wanted to write her recommendations. She explained her reasoning but we didn’t agree. After she had approached all of the teachers, she told us of their responses. One said she would be honored, one actually cried and hugged D and the last just smiled and said that he had her back. I’m thinking the one cried because D needed 22 letters. Once all the decisions were in, one gave her a copy of the letter he sent to the school she will be attending. She showed it to us with an “I told you so” look. It was the most amazing (and accurate) letter. It was our turn to cry.</p>
<p>Let your son go with his gut. He knows his teachers better that you. He spends more time with them and he knows exactly what they will say.</p>
