these kind of superficial slights

There was no slight. Just a bad picture.

It’s not being “intentional” is the very problem.

He’s right up against the edge of the bleachers, but the kids are scrunched in the middle. So he looks like he’s all alone, separate from everyone else.

The wheelchair couldn’t be closer, but the kids could.

There is nothing wrong with the picture, the kid is smiling. Parents and critics shut the hell up. He’s happy, look at that look on his face. You guys are the problem.

Yeah. There’s no reason the kid couldn’t have been in the front with the other kids gapped around him.

Yea I would bet that this photographer just doesn’t like kids all that much.

Maybe you need to relax.

Yeah, I might start calling people drama queens for discussing a way to take a better photo. LOL

Just clicked on post and have not read any comments. I say the child should have been in the middle of the photo surrounded by his classmates.

Now, I will see what other Freepers have said.

I guess mom missed the big ol' smile on his face.

I would have done it differently but the smile on his face says more.

Everyone could have skooched a bit to the left filling the gap.

And it would have looked like a normal class picture.

But nooooooo....

Agreed One Hundred Percent.There was NO reason to have done this to this child.

I would have asked the teacher to stand on the portrait right, next to the kid on the wheelchair.

That would have bridged the gap caused by not be able to get the motorized wheelchair closer, and the teacher would have been the bridge from the child to the rest of the class.

The photographer could have spread the kids on the bleachers out a tad more, or maybe have the little guy in front of the teacher. But other than that, since the wheelchair could not be any closer than it was, it just looks like an oversight, something you see after the picture is taken.

Much ado about nothing. If she lawyers up, the school will probably have to settle out of court.

I agree.

But that would take a thoughtful, caring teacher. Do those exist these days?

My cousin’s daughter has MD so its something we’re used to dealing with in family photos. She’s small for 13 and too big to sit with the little kids in front so she usually ends up sitting in the second row with the little old ladies.

Probably because he doesn’t expect anything better.
