Dc (4) told me this evening that the teacher was taking photographs of every child and of group activities (summercamp).
Is this normal and acceptable? I am a bit concerned and confused. Why didn't she (the teacher) asked us first, we have been chatting and photos have not been mentioned before. On other occassions, accordind to dc, no photos have been taken.
Probably they will use some pictures for advertising etc but I do feel so uncomfortable about this.
What are your thoughts?
Many thanks,
Summer
Update on#109
Pictures and short film clip were taken, but not for general advertising, they will use it more broadly to represent their small school, no names will be published.
I have not signed a waiver when we enrolled dc last year, the new enrollment papers seem all to cover this waiver.
Thank you for your answers, it helped me a lot to get calmer about this situation. However, I will consider if we continue in the fall term.
