It wouldn't be so bad if they took the time to ask the parents if they wanted them touched up and said what they were planning to alter. Some of my school photo's were pretty embarrassing, I wouldn't have minded if they fixed some of them. One year I rode my bike to school when my hair was still wet from the shower and when I got to school I looked like I'd just stuck my finger in a power point and switched it on, when it dried out it stayed like that all day.

I still remember getting the pics back and everyone in the class laughing at me. When I got home with the pics Mum thought I'd deliberately sabotaged the pics so I'd never have to do it again, she was seriously pissed off. She drove me to school every year after that on photo day.
