Question

do I put MY return name + address on the envelope (upper left corner) I give my teacher for a recommendation letter or should they put theirs?

Answer 1

In theory, the recommendation should never get to you directly.  so, if any return address goes on, it should be the teacher's.

The idea is that the teacher is free to say anything they like in the letter...and you've, in theory, managed to find a teacher who you can trust to give you a good recommendation.

Having said that, many teachers will show you their letters...but that's up to them.
