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.

How did they get two different versions? Did they take two sets of photos or edit out some of the children? I hope somebody gets fired.

I kinda hope they used that guy on whatever, that always does a "terrible" job editing people's photos.

Vague, smudged empty spots where you'd expect a kid.

Do we have a community for malicious compliance or bad photoshops or any of that ilk? I’m trash at finding these.

Obviously they took two photos and let the parents choose to buy option A or option B.

So they took a photo with all the kids and then asked the undesirables to leave for the second photo? And everyone was fine with that?

Well, from the article:

It is understand some class photographs were taken before the pupils with additional support needs were brought in.

Clearly, not everyone is fine with that.

My guess is they took a picture with the smaller group first and then brought in the second group to take the full picture.
