College Recommendation
So I'm looking to apply by Nov 1st to a college. I told one of my teachers who I really want a recommendation from about this 5 months ago and she said she would have it by August. Well, it's late October now, and I'm not really sure what to do. I have been bugging her about it because my deadline is approaching and I really need to get my things together! I'm trying not to be inconsiderate because she's a busy person... but she's been finding time to write other recommendations. She has written them for everyone who's asked except for me so far. And their deadlines were WAY after mine! I reminded her a couple times it has to be sent in early for my scholarship and such & that it's rolling admission but she keeps putting it off.
There is absolutely NO reason for her not to be writing this for me... I mean I've had 5 classes by her and got A's in all of them.
Can anyone shed some light on why she might not be writing them and how I can approach the situation?
Thank youu.

There are a number of reasons a teacher puts off writing a recommendation for one student over all others. For someone like you who has been an outstanding student it is actually harder to write a recommendation then for a student who is more average to above average.
The problem in writing an outstanding recommendation is how to do so in a manner that is not overly done; that does more harm then good. You want to praise this student for their abilities and hard work, yet you don't want to sound like a cheerleader for this person. To do so would possibly cause a reader to think this student is more teachers pet than academically qualified.
That is reason number one. The other reason goes to the opposite end of the scale. The teacher may feel, and I'm only guessing in your case, that a student took this course(s) for easy grades as these subjects came easy to him/her, When, to this teachers mind, they should have been in an advanced class. While the student did well in this class and other classes as well, his or her feelings could doom any chance to get in to a college of higher quality if written as felt.
I do not know which of these is your teachers problem if either of them is. What I do know is a teacher is not required to write a letter of recommendation. It is something they do as a courtesy for some students but not all.
My recommendation is to ask one of your parents to call either the teacher or the principal and ask if a recommendation is forthcoming.
