No photos of my child

[rosyposycosy]

DC nursery uploads a weekly report on what the children have been doing at nursery that week including a host of photos. This is the only insight into to get to see your child in the room as drop of and collection is all at the front door . So each week I look forward to seeing what she's got up to.
This week there were plenty of photos and she wasn't in a single one!!
Aibu to think they should ensure each child gets in at least one photo? There were multiple photos of some of the other children (like 5 photos of one kid doing the same activity!)

It's just a bit strange how this has become an expectation. This was never the case before the internet. Yes I know things change.....but realistically we all know what our children get up to at nursery without needing constant photos.

While it's nice to see what your kid is up to, I rather nursery staff were playing / looking after the kids rather than taking endless photos and adding comments to apps about what each child did that day.

OP there will be parents who opt out of this. As in they don't give consent for their kid to be photographed. Chances are your kid was playing next to these kids at the time so she couldn't be photographed. It's a possibility.

I agree. So many things have changed for the better but some not so much. We all went to nursery and school and our parents coped perfectly well with no photos or social media updates. In my workplace I think covid had an impact. Parents were worried when the children returned, we couldn’t meet them in person and so this way of communicating grew arms and legs. To take it away now would cause more issues than the time doing it.

This happens with my little boys nursery. It's likely that he's on the spectrum and I doubt he takes part in many activities but it's been about 3/4 months now since he's been in any photos they've posted whereas my niece is in about 5/6 every week. I work in a school so I know what it's like, but it still upsets me a bit because I do wonder what he does there and it would be nice to see something now and again.

I expect when the staff looked a photos thre was a child who isn't allowed to be posted in online pics. It's really difficult to avoid happenning at times. Unless your child is never seen in pics then not worth complaining about for just this week.

I've declined my children being photographed at school. I don't think it should actually be a thing either.
Time wasted taking photos and uploading them, I'd rather the kids be learning and enjoying school and the teachers have a little less on their plates.
