Rule number one for writing recommendations: don't write one if you can't.

So, I got a "recommendation" from my supervising administrator today that I am embarrassed to pass along to another school. While it's not in any way complimentary to me as either a professional or human, it speaks volumes to why I do not fit in here. I know how to write a letter. It's too bad the people who judge me do not possess the basic skills necessary to get along in this world.

The question now is "what to do"? Should I tell her that it would be appreciated if she could write one nice thing about me? Should I remind her of the work I have done in my department? I do need to send it back to her because she made an error on it (saying I taught English 1 at my last school when in fact I taught English 2). Ugh. 53 more days.
