But now that it has, asking the photographer to bring all their equipment back to the school to retake one picture is not a reasonable request. It's also probably $$$--the schools get a bulk deal for one day of processing classes through like a machine but a special session for just one class is something else. Who is going to pay for this?

Most schools offer retakes for individual students and have the days set up in advance. It is not going to cost the school extra. The $$$ comes from the picture packages that are purchased.

Right - and then another kid who is absent that day will miss the picture, and his parents will (rightfully) complain that he was there on picture day, and why on earth should he not be in the picture?

??? Are people posting here who have no experience with class pictures? There will be proofs of all of them. Order the one you like best. Personally, I choose the one where my kid has his eyes open and looks the least goofy. I don't give a crap which one the other parents choose.

OP's kid didn't miss her individual school photo (well, maybe she did, but that isn't the issue, and there are always reshoots of them). She missed the *class picture* - the picture of the entire class. Which is why, not coincidentally, the title of the post is "Child got left out of class picture."

So, I guess, the question is, do *you* actually have kids, or are you just a dumbass?

dp. I think it is you that has the reading comp problem. Other people are saying that it's not going to cost extra for the photographer to retake the class picture because the photographer will already be there at the school another time to do retakes for students who missed their individual pics the first time around. While the photographer is there, it would just be a matter of another 10 minutes or whatever to assemble this class for another class picture.

And then as for complaints that another kid will be left out of this new class picture because he was absent this day, another poster was saying that all the various class pictures can be available for order on the website (as it's all website ordering these days) and parents can pick the one their child is in.

All you have demonstrated is that multiple people, yourself included, are idiots. Go reread the original post. Are you seriously suggesting that means individual photos?

Come on, use your head.

The class pics typically end up sitting in a drawer or box in the basement. See if they can superimpose the child into the photo.
If it's really meaningful to your child,ask the teacher if you can go in one morning and do a few group/class pictures at the beginning of the school day.

It’s not the same setup or equipment. And at least at our school, individual picture retakes happened 2 months ago. The group shots are the last one and they don’t come back again. So it would cost extra.

But if you want to make this your hill to die on, you can.

THIS is a great idea. Ask for an informal pic of the whole class and frame that one for your house.

+1. Informal, and just for you. Don't ask anyone to dress up, that's ridiculous. Or, take a picture at the next assembly or music program or whatever when they're all on stage.

If the original picture is going into the yearbook, ask for your DD to be photo shopped in.

I wouldn't ask, It's a class picture that she won't remember, you likely won't keep, and it's just so unnecessary. Please OP, you will have enough hills to climb and battles to fight, don't make this an issue.

They offer INDIVIDUAL retakes for a class picture? This makes no sense.

Sigh. The word "individual" means one person. The photographer plans to return anyway to take pictures of the individual students who missed picture day. During that visit he or she can also retake photos of entire classes if necessary.

It's just not that complicated.

Do you work for a photography company? Because no, they won’t retake class pics on INDIVIDUAL picture retake day.

this happened to us once and they photoshopped my kid in.

this happened to another kid once, they photoshopped her kid in, and she paid for 30 copies of the class picture, and sent every family the class picture with her kid in it, so all families would have her kid in the class picture.

It was obviously an accident and the teacher felt bad and apologized but would you try to follow up with the school to see if another picture could be scheduled? I feel bad three my child missed her class picture due to her special ed services; she is frustrated when she is pulled from class for those and misses other things as it is. This was speech.

If she's black, I'd contact WaPo.

This is really weird. Not the photoshopping part. But buying the pictures and giving them to the other families. Some people have way too much time.

Yes, it is a big deal because the school messed up and it needs to be fixed. It just happened to my son and he’s in fifth grade and he was there that day so it should be retaking. It is a big deal.!!!

If the class picture is so worthless, then why is the school wasting everyone's time and money to create one?

Some people have ethical values.
