[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t include photos of kid doing activity. Rather show the critical thinking or thought process kid got to outcome. Result photo is ok but usually doesn’t need kid in photo. A kid in photo is using real estate ineffectively. You need to use space that exhibit exceptional advanced thinking. Look at fcps aap Twitter. It’s an awesome feed. [/quote]

+1. Plus, cringe.  What does a photo of your kid doing homework, playing and instrument or playing a sport do?  Show you have a cute kid?a big part of Varsity Blues was the inclusion of photos of kids doing activities the didn’t participate in in real life.

Pages with photos of the kid with his geography bee trophy, or whatever, should be shredded before they are seen by the committee. They don’t “prove” anything and they do play into unconscious biases based on race, sex, national origin, etc.  [/quote]

We don’t know what to include since DC doesn’t have award or certificate so we were thinking about pictures showing he doing volunteer work, and sports he does. Thank you we now know it’s not good we won’t use any pictures. [/quote]
