MODERATORS
Texas or Florida
Who would want a photo of an empty classroom though?
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.
Ohio too, it's every student with an IEP (which the school will ignore) in there.
I guess check your bias? Assholes are all over
The school was unaware that the company did this.
In Texas or Florida, it would have been the school (board) organizing the alternate shoot.
That seems unlikely, even if it's what they claim. You would need the staff to help organize the separate photos.
Scotland? Was the second picture empty?
Yeah, the second photo offered to parents was the article thumbnail.
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!
From this rotting cage of biomatter
Machine God, set us free!
If the flesh came into being because of spirit, that is a marvel, but if spirit came into being because of the body, that is a marvel of marvels.
Yet I marvel at how this great wealth has come to dwell in this poverty.
This was from a 'heretical' sect of early Christianity who not only seemed to have incorporated Lucretius's proto-evolutionary thinking and atomism, but ended up claiming we were actually in a copy of an original reality fashioned by an intelligence the original humanity brought forth, and that it's actually the future but we just don't realize it.
So maybe a Machine God already did set you free from your embodied shackles, you just aren't aware because the virtual embodiment is so accurately simulated it never really entered your mind that it's already a digital copy.
…where are the bones going to?
Sheffield.
Why would you wish that on the bones.
They know what they did..
Local dog shelters?
Doot town

I remember when retarded was the PC term. Now we just call them republicans.
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.
That's wholesome

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?
Disabled kids?

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.
Vague, smudged empty spots where you'd expect a kid.
So, Kate Middleton did the edits
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?
Well, from the article:
It is understand some class photographs were taken before the pupils with additional support needs were brought in.
Clearly, not everyone is fine with that.

How did that happen, when no one in the school was in with it? Where were the kids with complex needs at that time? As a parent I would have a closer look at the school, no matter what they say now. I mean it takes time to get the kids stand together, stop making funny faces etc. This was not done in five minutes or the pictures would be awful.
I'd imagine (from personal experience): the period before was split, with one part of the class doing something and the others doing something else. Therefore they didnt arrive at the photoshoot together.
