What were the photography company thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The same company does a lot of Edinburgh schools. Someone I know posted about it on Facebook last night. He’s got a kid at one of the schools with special needs so understandably furious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a parent on the tv news crying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtipsjambo Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Nothing is ever straight forward folks Some kids have really complex needs and would never sit still long enough for a photo to be taken It could be maybe that photo company and photographer only make money on photos bought and would some/ any parents if we are honest, buy a photo of their child if photo look chaotic as a reminder of the school year Agree though it is very insensitive.

Back when I were a lad (stop yawning you lot)... My primary school (more than 50 years ago) used to do a group photo and individual pics each year. Parents could buy both, but I reckon most parents only ever bought the individual photos. Anyway, I think it was pretty insensitive, and the photography company have said it's not their normal way of doing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The chances are that the class is organised with two groups: the complex needs group spending a portion of their time apart from the "mainstream" group. According to the First Lady, who's a bit of an expert in Special Education Needs, it's very common practice and she tells this is probably a storm in a teacup; and I dare any of you to challenge her on it. The story I read said that a photograph was taken before the complex needs group arrived which probably backs that up. It would be like complaining that your kid is in the photo for the 15-a-side rugby squad photo but not in the one for the sevens. Two different groups.
