I don't think Maggie had any other choice in this matter. Honestly, I don't think a lot of people take the rec process in the manner it was meant to be. I know in our little corner, the rec process is horrid and exclusionary-based on who you buy your car from to who has a daughter rushing "against" YOUR daughter this season. THIS IS THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH! I just think all recs should stem from a knowledge of the family or of the girl rushing. I won't even go so far a to say you have to know her on a personal level...by this I mean, if you are XYZ ad the school counselor comes to you and says "Sally Brown is so fantastic,do you think you could write a rec for her?" I would most likely write her rec because I believe in the school administrator. I wouldn't write a "no rec" for some one I didn't know on hearsay.
In THIS place, if your daughter "shined" more than another woman's daughter, they play you down on the recs. HOW DO I KNOW??? People talk, I listen! That's why I went outside the circle for a second rec...to make sure someone who had no agenda wrote a rec for her.
