Wow. So a Male teacher. take a photo for end of year folder and your worried.
I wouldn't have an issue with that.
In a world where camera have been replaced by Smart phone i would have more of an issue if the teacher brought in a high def camera to take the photo.
That would be weird..
If it was a female teacher would you have an issue with It??

She would still need consent. A new teacher mightn't be aware of this, but written consent from the parents is needed before taking photos of their kids.

Oh **** off.

I'd have to echo the above if it was a female teacher would you have an issue?
I have taken thousands of pics of my class working for project work, at tours, school events and so on. There is nothing nefarious going on and I'm sure you're child's teacher is the same. Leave him alone and let him do his job without having to worry about helicopter parents scrutinising his every move.

What rights have been violated in your opinion?

Which is asked for when the child is enrolled day one.

I wouldnt be jumping to complaining. I mean it was a group photo. Nothing else...

Absolutely outrageous that it would be pointed out that it was a male teacher, as opposed to a female teacher. It was mentioned that the teacher asked that the children would not look at the camera, yet because it was a male teacher, there would have to be some outrageous slant put to it. Absolutely sexist and discriminatory.

Martinamc

No consent

just wondering, a new male teacher in all girls school was taking pictures of the class doing work in his mobile phone. He told them not to look at the camera and that it was for the end of year folder. I never received a consent form for him to use his personal phone to take pictures. Is this not against the rights of the child?

What relevance is the gender of the teacher, and why do you state it?

You will surely have signed a consent form when your child was enrolled allowing their photo to be taken. How do you know that the device the teacher took the photo with was not a school owned device. Some schools are buying mobiles for teachers for use in school such as for going to matches/trips or to negate the need for children to be sent on note dropping jobs in school.

Sorry but your specific point was that it was a young male teacher. No point in backtracking now,. It was an utterly outrageously sexist thing to say.

Not young... Old...

I ask you again. What are the rights of your child which you allege have been violated?

Do you post pictures of your child on your social media accounts?

Aarrrggghhh this is why I am starting to dislike my job. "Public enemy number one"

What a sick thread! There is no justification for singling out a new male teacher like you have done. You need only look at the number of people who have thanked those who have disagreed with you. I'm afraid you are very much on your own here. I have to agree with the others who think your views are appallingly discriminatory and I'd go as far as saying that they are disturbingly and suspiciously warped.

I hope you can't look him straight in the eyes again. The perverted stuff you've been assuming.

Might not be appropriate to the op. But a valid point. It's fine if 'you' invade your child's privacy and put it up for public consumption.

Grasping at straws by the O.P., I would think, trying to make a late clarification that the 'new, male teacher' was actually 'old'. Pathetic grasping at straws when there is clearly no justification for the stance he has taken, which is clearly discriminatory against this 'new' teacher, who just happens to be male (sadly for him).

James Bond Junior

This thread and the op disgust me. This attitude boils my blood. I have been called a paedophile several times in my career all because I am a male teacher. No basis whatsoever, just some people in this world equate the two to being one. I have threatened legal action upon someone for it and actually regret not going through with it. This perverted attitude against males as educators needs to stop.

I would hate to be in charge of young children in today's society- guilty by gender

I'm not surprised given how everyone has descended on him like a pack of wolves.
Looks to me like his issue was not getting a consent form. He or the child's mother.( Darent say wife as she may not be ) should have received one.

cursai

Why is it always the enquiring question about the rules with photographs in relation to kids.
But they never seem to follow through and question outright or openly as to where the photos may end up. Do they even think that far ahead. Is it just a natural reaction to object?

As part of the child's enrollment pack, a form would have included explicitly asking for consent for their child's picture to be taken. This would cover for outsiders such as photographers also. I've explained this three times now.

To date, on reviewing this thread, there are 63 'Thanks' for views opposed to those of the OP, yet the OP has not received one single 'Thanks'.

I think that tells us, loud and clear, that his original post was completely thoughtless, at best. At worst, I'd rather not say.

You have a disgusting attitude & I fear for your children growing up with such a sexist parent. Your replies trying to justify your thoughts have been nothing less than immature & rude. I feel sorry for your child's teacher. Unbelievable.

No, it just says some teachers are over sensitive.

Irrespective of whether a form is signed on enrolment, we get a new one every year as parents may have changed their minds on the issue.

bigbrotherfan

Deleting or editing of the outrageous posts by the OP, proves that what he originally said was just that. OUTRAGEOUS. His blatantly sexist views have no support on this forum. God help male teachers if this is the kind of bigot out there.

A consent form for photographs or for photographs taken with a personal phone. Common sense would dictate he/she has equal control of both.

I'm not over sensitive. I am however sensitive to being whitewashed along with my male colleagues to engaging in unspeakable acts just because of gender. I am sensitive to the fact that if a small child hugs me I am immediately on the defence as I fear for being accused of something whilst my female colleagues can accept and even reciprocate the hug. I worry for people with your attitude.

Edit: It's overly sensitive, not over sensitive. Write it out three times and have your mother sign it please. There's a good little thing.

What attitude is that, since you obviously (don't) know me.?

I'm sorry but the O.P.'s issue was very clearly that it was a 'new, male teacher'. I'm incensed by this and it's sad to be assuming that anybody who disagrees with this guy is a sensitive teacher.

I'm a parent (who is not a teacher) and the O.P.'s attitude throughout this thread, disgusts me. He knows he hasn't a leg to stand on, which is obviously why he has deleted or completely edited, all of his earlier posts. Perhaps you came in on this thread, after he started deleting.

Its a woman.

We had the most wonderful infant teacher in our school which had to move, reluctantly, to the Senior end of the school because of the attitude of likes of the OP. He felt he couldn't comfort an infant by putting them sitting on his knee or give them a hug if upset because if how it might be misinterpreted. Very very wrong IMO

overmantle

Perhaps the OP is female. I assumed it was a male OP. Either way, it was a highly sexist, defamatory viewpoint that s/he was expressing. It's important that our schools have some element of gender balance among our teaching staffs but with this insanely swift leaping to judgement, as judge and executioner, deciding that 2+2 = 37, just because somebody is male, is the one way of forcing men out of our schools, purely and simply on the basis of their gender, leaving no male role models in our schools.
