A friend's child attended an elementary school in MCPS last year (2009-2010). My friend got into arguments with the school over alleged behavior problems of the child. When the school ended last summer, my friend found that her child's picture had been removed from the yearbook that she had paid for. I found this very unprofessional on the part of the school, since the child, though not perfect, is innocent. How do you think? |

Did he have his picture taken? Being in school and getting it taken are two differnet things. If your conspiracy is correct , I am sure his parents were labeled PITAs |

| How does she know it was removed? Did they photoshop the class picture? This sounds highly unlikley. |

I am the OP. I am sure the kid's piture was taken, as I asked my friend the same question. Like many of you, I initially found it unbelievable that the school would take pains to remove the picture of a child.
<< his parents were labeled PITAs PITAs? Care to explain? |

| Elementarys chool year books publish individual photos of kids? I thought it was just class photos, and I don't see how they could have removed him from the class photo. |

| In our MCPS, the parents do the yearbook, not the kids. So, if his photo was removed, which sounds really strange to me, it might have been done by parents and not the school. |

| This happened to our child. Photos were taken on the make-up photo day along with other students. Their individual pictures appeared in the yearbook, ours did not. The parent in charge of the yearbook excluded my Dh's photo, but the school is also at fault for not proofing the final copy of the yearbook. |

| I work on my childs school yearbook. It is a PTA function not run by the school. I can think of a number of unintended ways a photo would be left out when creating the book or even not included by the photgrapher (inadvertantly). I wouldn't assume it was purposeful.. Sorry that it happened though.. |

| It would make sense for the school to take responsibility of yearbooks. After all it is representing the school to the public. Who would proof the final copy? I can't imagine one parent being able to print hundreds of copies without getting the approval from the school. That would be ridiculous. |
