remember the other day, when i got those pictures of harry. the ones that i didn't order. the ones that he wasn't happy about. i kept wondering WHY a company would send them home, hoping i'd order more...

i was supposed to send them back, or send in a check to cover the cost. good thing the teacher included a note in harry's back pack. good thing the pictures made it home unscathed. good thing i scanned my own copy.

i just want to complain about this though. i mean, really. who trusts anything in a second graders backpack? do they not realize that it is a miracle that things make it home anyway. most papers are mutilated and destroyed just by being in the backpack. then the journey home. i hate that our elementary school does this. i hate it very much. if i didn't have the pictures to send back, i would have got a bill. and outrageous sum of money for pictures i didn't want in the first place. i think it is shady business. i'm not even a big fan of school pictures in the first place! add to that this second picture day, and i'm a pretty unhappy mom. even though i sent them back, i still would have rather the whole thing never happened.

i agree. that is a shifty way of doing business! you should share this concern with his teacher when you next email her. probably should say something to the principal too...

my son's school did that last year. It totally pissed me off! They didn't even announce these pictures, so my son looks just like yours. In his raggedy clothes, with his hair all over the place, and no smile. And then they expect you to pay for them! Gah!
