Photoshopping school photos?????

[Mangobubbles]

So DS comes home with his school photo order form and it has the option to photoshop it, just circle the area and annotate..... AIBU to think this is awful? Maybe in very specific circumstances, this could possibly be acceptable but surely, children face enough pressure from media to look a certain way to fit with our modern society. Eating disorders and depression are becoming frighteningly common in young people. What kind of a message does this send them? Is this normal for school photos these days? Am I just old fashioned?

manic I'm pretty sure our school does not have enough spare clothing to change every child who spills their dinner down their clothes.

At my last school they had to photoshop a year six whole class photo as a boy in the centre of the front row was sticking his middle finger up . The school had to send the photo back, the photographer hadn't noticed! The child had obviously not realised that he couldn't deny the crime as there was photographic evidence
