I don't mind writing for the kids that worked hard. It bothers me when kids who just cruised or didn't do much ask me to write one. I always tell them to reflect on the work they did in my class and decide if they want me to write them one because it will reflect my experience with them in the classroom.
Well done, Gary. I just took a moment to write a diplomatic summary of one of the problems that has impacted me instead of screaming and yelling on the meeting. Probably a better choice job-wise, but it hasn't done much to blow off steam.
