As a photographer, I don’t agree. It’s a pathetic and appalling photograph, and wasn’t necessary. Wheelchair in the middle wasn’t necessary either. A little creative, thought could have found a better solution, but this is all you get for $100.

Mom is looking at the wrong thing.
Look at the grin on his face, mom!!! He's happy he's with the other kids.
Sadly, there are kids that can't even be part of a group.

As the father of a handicap child I can tell you that, these kind of superficial slights don’t bother me in the least.
We seek the approval of men when we have been so blessed by God.

Or slide the kids over to the right side of the benches/platform they were on to close the gap, either one would've worked.
Exactly. Its a simple photographer's mistake and I doubt any offense was intended.

Plot Twist:
Miles typically has very bad gas and was experiencing major issues that morning. this picture shows him leaning over as he’s ‘squeezing one out’

I should’ve said, “we don’t seek the approval of men”

Bingo! This stupid example of a teacher—pains me to see the little guy off and away.

Are we so cold hearted, that we lack compassion? Real compassion would have forced everyone to be in a wheelchair for the pic.

What was supposed to happen? The kid sits in the benches?
Maybe they didn't know that he could sit up on his own? Maybe the boy declined to sit there? There are plenty of questions that ought to be asked. The mother seems to assume a lot.
Not to defend the public school system in any way but we can't jump to conclusions.

It’s not being “intentional” is the very problem.

Ugh. Clearly the Mom drew more symbolism from this than was intended - it's an awful picture because it's a clumsy picture, taken by someone with no eye to composition at all. The photographer should be embarrassed, and no one else.
What is relevant is not some compositional blunder but how the little guy is accepted by the other kids sitting (where they were told) in the picture. That's the only relationship that matters.
To: cripplecreek
Maybe you need to relax. As a photog myself I would have used a different, more inclusive pose. It’s a school picture, chill out.

He’s tucked right in next the bench, as close as he can get. And while it’s sad that he has muscular dystrophy, the parents should be pleased that he has adjusted so well to it and is smiling that big smile.
He looks like a great kid, to me. And that’s the important thing.
