What a school has allowed itself to do is not particularly well received by the female students.
The yearbook is a national topic of conversation.
Florida - What did a high school in Florida think?
Parents and pupils are puzzling over this.
The traditional yearbook is a lifelong memory printed on many pages.
Always a nice thing for children or grandchildren when they discover a photo of their mum or grandmother or when it is shown to them.
Reminisce - a wonderful moment for many.
But that won't be the case with this yearbook.
Florida High School: Yearbook is a talking point across the country
What happened?
Bartram Trail High School is located in northeast Florida, south of the city of Jacksonville.
Unsolicited, this school has now edited 80 photos of female pupils by hand.
The clothes or clothes were retouched in such a way that even “man” really can't see anything.
The
St. Augustine Record
, which even spoke to parents,
reports
about it.
The photos were anything but grubby.
One mother explained that her daughter had added something from her shirt in the chest area that actually doesn't belong there.
“I think it's meant to show girls that they should be ashamed of their bodies that are still growing.
And I think it's terrible news for the girls who are still changing and growing, ”Adrian Bartlett tells the portal.
And the hammer on top: The Photoshop qualities are poor, as some examples show.
The news channel
News4JAX
(Jax is the common abbreviation for Jacksonville in the United States) shows some pictures in it.
Allegedly, the girls violate the school's dress code.
But not on every side, so strictly on the clothes rules, which provokes even greater criticism.
Some students also have their say and say that they were confused or surprised because they wore the photographed shirt all day before the photo shoot and nobody complained.
Yearbook Fail in High School: Prolonged Students Suffer
On other pages of the yearbook are some pictures of boys in swimming trunks or unedited snapshots.
In the case of pre-stressed female students, such as Adrian Bartlett's daughter, the whole thing is even worse.
"She was in the hospital twice because of psychological problems, also because of her body."
Your daughter would have problems with her self-confidence, so an action like this would of course not help.
The school is keeping a low profile.
In the association in which the school is a member, a spokeswoman published a statement that each school is responsible for its own dress code.
Not only the regional news channels and portals, but also the NYPost, the New York Times or the WYMT from East Kentucky are just a few examples of the many reports across the country.
At the beginning of the year, another topic made a similar wave: in the San Diego Zoo even monkeys were vaccinated against corona.
