Teacher 1: That's great.
Me: It's too long though 
Teacher 1: Take it to Teacher 2 (Teaches French, which I'm applying for!) and she'll tell you what to take out.
Teacher 2: I've made some changes, I don't think you've "sold yourself" enough. *Hands back second draft with LOADS of annotations to make changes and add things. Then asks me to come and see her on Monday so she can talk me through all the changes.* (Note: one of the changes is taking out the bits added by Teacher 1!!)
Teacher 3 (Guidance teacher, Teaches Maths and will be writing reference even though she barely knows me) : I read your PS on UCAS, it's great! Come and see me on Monday and we'll try and get it done and sent away.
Arghhhhhh!
You need to assert yourself. In the end it's *your* application. Decide yourself what to keep and what to take out and then politely rebut any teacher that says otherwise. Too many cooks spoil the broth, as they say.
