LOAD “*”, 8, 1

If I were an overworked teacher, I’d still rather award the point. Just throw down a checkmark and move on. I don’t need to write an explanation, and the kid/parents are not going to complain.

Also a final opportunity to emphasize anything that went well in the interview, or downplay/explain anything that didn’t.

Anyone who’s judgementally dismissing applicants for not sending a thank you is an asshole, but this does not change the fact that sending a thank you is a good idea if you actually want to get the job.
