When DS started school I ticked the box which said I didn't mind him having his photo taken, assuming this would be for school related things.
A term in and a photo of their first day at school is published in our cities newspaper, which we can then buy from them.... I felt a bit about this but obviously didn't want to not buy a picture of my DS on his first day at school.. I was then charged £7 plus £2 postage for a rubbish quality tiny print.
It reminds me of being in Morocco and getting followed by guys with cameras who would then try to sell you the pictures they took, i.e. not entirely appropriate for an infant school. I wouldn't mind so much buying a photo from the actual school, but the newspaper?
AIBU to be annoyed at this?
