OK - DS starts primary school in Sept. Just been given loads of forms to complete over summer including one about giving consent for photography etc. No problem with giving consent generally i.e. for school website / school photo etc BUT have just realised local paper does a supplement containing pictures of all school starters which are also published online / for sale
I am really uncomfortable with this as think it is exploitative and simply a way for the paper to sell more copies / make money. Expect there is some sort of deal in place with LEA to allow access for photos. But I feel I am being forced into an impossible position. Give consent and my child's photo is published in a newspaper / online or don't give consent and my child gets upset because they are not included in group activity / treated differently.
Am I being precious? Over-thinking this? DH says I should't make a fuss. I wouldn't mind so much if DS was able to make an informed choice himself or there seemed to be a general reason for this (i.e. celebrating particular success). WWYD??
