A council has apologised after parents were offered a choice of class photos with or without children with complex needs in them.

Parents at Aboyne Primary complained after being sent a link from a photography company offering them alternative pictures.

    I was 90% sure this was Texas or Florida.

      Texas or Florida

      Who would want a photo of an empty classroom though?

      Nah, in Texas and Florida, they just keep kids with ‘complex needs’ all together in a classroom at the end of the hall, so they don’t have to do anything fancy for the classroom photo.

      Scotland? Was the second picture empty?

        Yeah, the second photo offered to parents was the article thumbnail.

      The school was unaware that the company did this.

      In Texas or Florida, it would have been the school (board) organizing the alternate shoot.

        That seems unlikely, even if it’s what they claim. You would need the staff to help organize the separate photos.
