[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a sign. Stop doing these.  You just reminded me that we never watched the one for my oldest that the PTA put together when they left elementary school. He’s in high school now. Sorry if I sent in the wrong number of photos for that. [/quote]
Don’t stop doing it. I love these. People don’t have to look if they aren’t interested.OP, just pick the first 4 submitted and move on. In fact, that’s what the directions shoukd say (for anyone else in subsequent years). “Parents, send in 4 pictures; if more than 4 are submitted, we will use the first 4.”[/quote]

OP here. This is what we will do but its just rude and inconsiderate as it makes more work for the volunteers. It also screams "my child is more important than the other children and should be featured more heavily in the slideshow due to their level of importance." Its exactly the parents you would expect - the ones who think the moon shines out of their average kid's butt. Instead I'd love to say "If you send in more than 4 pictures, none of your pictures will be used." We are not talking 5 or 6 photos here. Some parents (and it wasn't just one or two people) literally sent in 30+ photos. [/quote]

Settle down, Gladys! Maybe it just means they couldn't decide which pics were best so sent the whole lot and are letting you decide. So just pick four and move on. The extra work should take you about 30 seconds - surely you're not THAT busy.[/quote]
