My opinion is that this is political correctness gone too far.
Memories and recordings, such as pictures and video, are important to families and to show the children when they grow up.

I have no children of my own but always go to see my young nieces and nephews nativity plays at school, I can't see the problem really, the proud dads stand well away from other people in the audience so as not to annoy or disturb their kids performance, its always very well monitored and checked by the head teacher to make sure no one is getting a copy of something they shouldn't have, copies of the film are sold to the other parents for a minimal price and it goes towards school funds, we have no photographs or films from our school plays when we were kids and its such a shame cos we did some great plays too, thank god the parents today have those memories to look back on, its just the creeps yet again that spoil it for others.

No its not fair! I have some lovely videos of my son in various school plays and nativities, this means of supposedly protecting against peaodophile activity is utterly ridiculous as most schools now moniter the adults who go to watch these shows and are usually all parents and friends of the children taking part!

I think things like this have just gone a bit too far. I know what you are saying. The data protection act comes in to play with this sort of thing. Don't get me wrong, I don't want my kids ogled on by individuals who have not the best interests at heart. But we're in aworld where we now have the means to capture the best episodes in our children lives and it seems we are letting go of it with these new enforced rules.

at our local school u have to sign a form to say u are willing to let yr child have their pics taken videos recorded etc they don't allow camera's that flash as it off putting to the kids and also due to kids with epilepsy . they take the vids themselfs so u can buy a copy cheap around 2 quid

Yes and No .... I really miss being able to capture my kids special moments on film.
I think schools should do an official video of school performances, and any parents wanting a copy should be allowed a copy, that way they can control who has the images of the kids, and no weirdo's can get in to video the kids themselves.

Most people seem to have missed the point: The schools are sh it scared of the film/video falling into the hands of the local paedo.
So just tell me how many parents are likely to let that happen!!!

That is not fair at all. Unless they have a professional recording it that you can buy a copy of. Sometimes that's easier on the kids.

no ,.the reason that they dont allow u to take ur own cameras is that if u will take ur own camera then no one will buy the photographs sold by them in school

If we want a litigious culture we have to pay for it somehow. So yes it's fair.
