So at a school in Britain(?), there's a boy with muscular dystrophy in the class. He uses a wheelchair. For their class photo however, the boy was placed in his wheelchair, slightly apart from the class, but still "included" in the shot.
That wasn't good enough for the mother, who demanded (rightly so) that her boy be included as part of the class and not as an "add-on". Photo is reshot with the boy dead centre, but sans wheelchair. Hysterics ensue.
Personally, I don't see why they couldn't have moved the wheelchair just a few inches over so that it looked like he was on the end of one of the rows. Not every single photo needs to be cookie-cutter perfect with equal numbers of children in the rows. That said, the kid looks happy to be part of the photo and at the end of the day, how the kid feels is all that matters.
