Writing recommendation letters for mediocre kids Discussion in ' General Education ' started by writing a letter of recommendation for a mediocre studentOct 30, Jan 26, Recommendation for Oct 30, I'm supposed to mediocre a letter for a kid 5th grade who wants to apply to another school.
But he's just sort of a mediocre kid.
He doesn't put in very much effort, he doesn't make great grades mostly Cs and Dshe's not very well behaved, bad handwriting, forgets homework all the time, I always have to force writing a letter of recommendation for a mediocre student to clean when it's his day I mean he's just sort of a normal kid. Should Writing a letter of recommendation for a mediocre student just lie? Or find some sort of creative way to say I enjoy having him in my class?
I'm not trying to say there's nothing special about letter recommendation kid, I'm sure he's great at stuff, but he's just not great in my class. And that's when I see him. And that's also what I'm supposed to be writing about. I'm sort of worried his mom will see the letter.
She's a teacher at the school so it puts me in a weird position. I certainly can't say what I really feel in the writing. Jun 7, Messages: Oct 30, I've had the same happen. It's awkwars and uncomfortable.

I end up writing not so much letters of recommendations but matter of fact letters about the child being in my class. I figure for mediocre point is made.
How do you write a letter of recommendation for a student teacher who just did the bare minimum to get by? I certainly cannot use phrases such as "without reservation" or "it is my pleasure. This is stressing me out!
Yes, I believe that letters of recommendation are garbage. But if we continue to require letters, faculty have a moral obligation to write them. Part of being an educator is to evaluate students for the public and as long as they subsidize us professors, we need to satisfy the external demand for assessment.
Some people seem to believe that getting a letter of reference is a privilege that only the very best students deserve, and that instructors ought to put a cap on how many students they will write letters for. See below for samples.
