The Thinking Mother reports on a Crazy School Rule in the United Kingdom:
----------
A United Kingdom school has banned parents from taking photos of THEIR OWN children at school sports events.
This is said to protect the photos from going into the hands of 'the wrong' people.
I'm against child porn but kids playing sports and parents taking photos of THEIR OWN kids is, in my opinion, outside of the reach of a school policy. This is a violation of parent's rights, which should carry over onto school property when watching a publically viewable sports game. And the kids are clothed too!
----------
One nice thing about homeschooling is I can take pictures of my children playing soccer.

what? that's ridiculous!
Of course, I'm sure they'll SELL you photos if you so desire... Yikes.
Frankly, I think photography should be allowed ANY place that's publicly accessible. I hope one day SOON that always-on, internet-connected video devices are worn by a majority of the people. My phone is already capable of video-streaming live to the internet, so it can't be too far away.
Yes...sad! This is one of the many reasons why some UK parents - including us - choose to homeschool.
