DD's primary school had a policy of no sharing photos that have other children in, taken at school events to be posted on FB.
That's fine, never have and never would.
However, a few weeks ago I posted a pic of my own DD on FB and I had my knuckles rapped. The pic was taken on a public beach, on the way home from school of DD in her school uniform.
One of my friends is a TA so I'm assuming she's reported it to the head teacher as I was contacted and asked to take the picture down as it broke school's Facebook policy. I asked for it to be clarified as the pic wasn't on school property, had no other children in it other than my own DD and was told that DD was wearing her school uniform so it was considered as being taken on school property.
I removed the picture as I really wasn't that bothered. It was all a bit something and nothing really and I wasn't going to make a fuss about a picture on FB.
I've checked and double checked my privacy settings which were all fine, which is why I'm assuming it came about due to TA friend.
Anyway, I was just looking at the school's FB page (not a closed group or anything, just a totally open page that you can like and anyone can view) and there are loads of pics of my daughter from where she took part in a school event last week.
Now, I don't mind them posting pics of my daughter, but AIBU to think its a bit rich of them to dictate to me that I can't post a pic of my own daughter on my own private FB page when they're posting pics of her on their totally open, public page.
Obviously they're only posting pictures of children where parents have signed to say it's OK. There are children at the school who, for various reasons, can't be photographed. I know this and I totally understand it and I never would, and never have, post pictures of other children, but a picture of my own child?
