Your kid applied to college in December. This teacher has been a mentor and very involved in your kid’s life. In addition, they give your kid music lessons outside of school (although the teacher cancelled lessons before each college audition, causing your kid a lot of anxiety and feelings of rejection). Your kid wants to study music. At every college audition, they have to talk about their private lessons teacher. But the guy never submitted a letter of recommendation. Your kid reminded them every month or so… but you just checked and there is no letter.

Does the guidance counselor bear any responsibility here?

Could a lack of recommendation from the music teacher have been a factor for the school that just sent a rejection letter?
