A council has apologised after parents were offered a choice of class photos with or without children with complex needs in them.
Parents at Aboyne Primary complained after being sent a link from a photography company offering them alternative pictures.
Scotland??
I was 90% sure this was Texas or Florida.I guess check your bias? Assholes are all over
Scotland? Was the second picture empty?
Nah, in Texas and Florida, they just keep kids with ‘complex needs’ all together in a classroom at the end of the hall, so they don’t have to do anything fancy for the classroom photo.
Texas or Florida
Who would want a photo of an empty classroom though?
Fucking PC language making articles indecipherable. “Complex needs”, wtf does that actually mean? How many fell into this category? Were different pictures taken, or was one edited after the fact? Why are they afraid to add context?
The fuck is wrong with people? Are we not all imperfect flesh? I hope all their bones escape.
I hope all their bones escape.
LOL, now that’s a curse I’m going to have to file away to use myself later!
…where are the bones going to?
Sheffield.
I was watching some TV show, maybe CSI SVU or maybe some English crime procedural, where the parents were brought in to talk about their son physically abusing a special needs person. It turned out the parents photoshopped out the special needs person from the class photo, and that was used as evidence that they encouraged his discriminatory behavior. I was thinking while watching the show that those are some real fucking assholes for photoshopping out someone from a school photo before they would display it in their home.
Turns out it was something real people do.
You know the only reason the company offered this option was because they had been asked by other parties.
Btw, who displays class photos at home?
Why would you want a bunch of random kids on your wall?
With a couple I know, they had the class photo of one of their sons at the fridge one year. Seemed weird to me too, so I asked. Turns out the son had wanted to hang it because he had always had trouble with fitting in in previous schools, and this was the first time he really was friends with those kids and invited them over as well.
That seemed like a good reason to me personally.
How did they get two different versions? Did they take two sets of photos or edit out some of the children? I hope somebody gets fired.
I kinda hope they used that guy on whatever, that always does a “terrible” job editing people’s photos.
Do we have a community for malicious compliance or bad photoshops or any of that ilk? I’m trash at finding these.
Obviously they took two photos and let the parents choose to buy option A or option B.
So they took a photo with all the kids and then asked the undesirables to leave for the second photo? And everyone was fine with that?
My guess is they took a picture with the smaller group first and then brought in the second group to take the full picture.
Well, from the article:
It is understand some class photographs were taken before the pupils with additional support needs were brought in.
