Elementary yearbook - not one, not two, not three

I'm sorry! On DS's team page they featured a nice action photo of a kid that only participated in half the meets because he decided he liked theatre better Another prominant photo was of a kid that didn't compete due to academic restrictions. The lead captain who went to state? Only in group photo. It makes me sad, and I'm not his mother!

I didn't intentally write them down wrong

FYI- it's intentionally

Geez oh petes. It really peeves me to see those types of errors in any kind of communication from the school.

Our high school yearbook is done by the students with a teacher advisor and our elementary yearbooks are done by one of the staff at the elementary school with no input from the students. Is there any way one of the upper classes (7th or 8th?) could have helped with the yearbook? Not that it shouldn't have been edited but I'd be less irritated if I knew a kid was involved in some way.

My school left out the Unified Arts teachers and a lot of the aides. So, after 22 years of teaching, I am not in this yearbook. I was pissed.

I was the yearbook adviser for years. Those kind of mistakes would not have happened. We made mistakes but leaving out a lot of teachers- no.

Kids usually make the yearbook but it is an adult's responsibility to check for these kind of errors.

That poor girl..

The yearbooks at our school stink.  Students are assigned to different sections and none of it is cohesive.  They have so many errors.  

They got my son's name wrong his senior year. ugh!!  In the book it gave "credit" for each of the sections........ the girl responsible for the senior photos has known him for 13 years!  They went k-6th with just twelve kids in their class, how could she get his name wrong!??!?!!

My daughter was drill team captain in high school. She was voted "Most Talented" and one of her lieutenants was voted "Best Hair." Well Miss Best Hair also worked on the year book that year and some how my "most talented" daughter's entire award and picture was left out. hmmmm Well she WAS very upset that my daughter was captain.

My daughter was left out of her yearbook of the school that she attended all but the last 5 months for the last 3 years. We paid for one but it only has her baby pic (8th grader). They didn't put her in with the class even though the pics are taken in fall. They also didn't list her name in any of her clubs. So she is in the pic but she isn't named. She was so sad.

My son's middle school yearbook, done by a teacher, has so many mistakes. None of the individual retake pictures, which we were promised would be included, were. So my DS has an awful picture in there. There are so many student names spelled wrong in group pictures. The wrong group pictures were used. Group A is pictured. Then pictured again but listed as Group B. Poor Group B is never actually pictured or listed. The band & orchestra teachers were not included anywhere in the book. There were so many other mistakes! I was on the yearbook staff as a student and as a teacher (elementary) and can't believe the number of mistakes that made it into the books.

I was a PTO volunteer that was responsible for a small military elementary school. The book I created had many mistakes with names and it made me crazy however there was nothing I could do about it. The book was contracted through Lifetouch, who also took the portraits. I was given the portraits along with names as Lifetouch had them. I knew that there with mistakes with name spelling because I knew many of the students. I fixed the one I recognized but did not know everyone. I asked the school for a list of students to correct names. The school declined to help me. I offered to sit in the school office to work on the book so I could get the names right. The school declined. I asked if there was any way I could check name spellings and the school said "no". I tried to compare name spellings via facebook and friends but my hands were tied. If Lifetouch entered the names incorrectly it was very difficult for me to rectify. I did my best and still had people bitch me out about spellings afterwards. No one cared that I could not even get the school to help me and it wasn't worth the grief of being blamed so I quit volunteering with the PTO. I just wanted to add a different perspective from a parent volunteer.

Aw! This happened to my daughter too this year. Her school picture was terrible, so she had a retake done. She specifically went to the yearbook team and was assured her retake would be the one used. We paid $50 for the yearbook, and what is in there? The goofy one. She was still so mad and embarrassed.
