I also experienced a letter of anti-recommendation from a school administrator once, which by total chance my mother intercepted and prevented from being sent (and gave the woman quite an earful). Reading that detail makes me wonder if this is actually a common practice.
Stunning to me that someone would think to do that to a kid.
- enraged_camel 12y agoI'm not a lawyer, but it sounds risky from a legal perspective. People can sue companies for giving them a bad reference, so can they not also sue schools for these "letters of anti-recommendation"?
