Parents ignoring headteacher

[DisappointedOne]

Concert this morning for youngest children in primary school's Easter bonnet parade. Headteacher stresses at start that parents are free to take photos but that if posting on social media no other child than your own is to be included in photos. He says this very clearly before every school event.

This evening a parent has posted photos and video of her child plus about 6 others on Facebook. She's a TA in another primary school FFS. Headteacher warns that one complaint will see a no photos policy introduced. I know that the parents of one of the children shown don't want photos of him on social media.

WIBU to point this out AGAIN to this person and ask her to edit/remove the pictures? I'm chair of the PTA if that makes a difference.

My daughter is adopted and I am afraid I would be on the war path about pictures on line

It's actually sad that I even had to block people from my FB page for stealing photos and re posting them even though I have explained

That I am the only one who gets to post pictures often the pictures I post don't have her face showing at all or like Easter photo she has a massive Easter hat on and you couldn't see her face but that's my daughter and my choice I never have her uniform in photos in case of talk about places just very general but others are not so careful also you have no clue who others no I have 7 people now on my FB page and they are real life friends

Yes but some parents simply won't have it that you shouldn't name the school the child's in class ect they have lax privacy settings

Shit but nessasery

That TA is trying to defend the indefensible.

So now, the HT had better insist on a blanket no photos rule, and insist on the photos being taken down.

I also agree that the school the TA works at should be told.

It's in the hands of the headteacher. I had a quiet word this morning (he looked like he might headbutt the wall with frustration). I suspect the TA will have been phoned and a letter sent home with children tonight.
