Speaking of graduation photos, everyone is no stranger. In the blink of an eye, it is another graduation season, studying and living together for several years, once separated, there is always reluctance, there is always nostalgia, so taking a graduation photo has become a good way to retain youth memories.

In everyone's impression, the graduation photo seems to be quite simple, nothing more than the whole class standing in several rows, the teachers sitting in the middle, a big group photo, now I can take out most of my graduation photos are like this. Photos like this, evenly distributed to each student, the fee is not much eight, that is, ten yuan eight, will not cause any financial burden to parents.
With the improvement of people's living standards, parents are very concerned about the growth of their children, so graduation photos are now more and more beautiful, and there are more photos, and the price will naturally rise. But generally it is only 180 yuan, and parents can also accept it.
A few days ago, some parents of Chengdu High-tech Zone revealed that their children's class took graduation photos, each person charged 600 yuan, and there were more than 30 children in the class, which means that the graduation photos alone cost nearly 20,000 yuan. After this news spread on the Internet, it immediately attracted everyone's attention and heated discussion, a primary school graduation photo, is it necessary to be so "expensive"? Subsequently, the Chengdu High-tech Zone Education, Culture and Sports Bureau said that the school had refunded the fee and stopped the activity.
Of course, this "luxurious" version of the graduation photo should not only be a group photo of the whole class, not so much a graduation photo, but a graduation album. It includes personal close-ups, class shots, scene shooting, posing in various poses, and maybe even aerial photography with drones.
The shape is complicated, there are many photos taken, and the natural time will be relatively long, before a graduation photo, the whole class lined up on the playground, a group photo, at most twenty minutes to get it. But this is a uniform costume and a variety of postures, I am afraid that I will not be able to get down in a few hours. For children, it is also quite a toss.
I have also seen parents complaining about the "luxury version" graduation photos on the Internet before, handing over hundreds of them, allowing children to pose in various styles on the playground on hot days, aerial photography from afar, and some photos can't even distinguish the child's face, but it is quite suitable for school publicity.
Parents are not unwilling to take graduation photos, but each family's economic ability is different, if the price is too expensive, some families may be difficult to accept, but do not want children to feel unsocial because of not participating in graduation photos, can only grit their teeth to accept, which causes a relatively large financial burden to parents.
Therefore, the graduation photo should not be too fancy, otherwise the meaning of the graduation photo will be lost, and as little money as possible will be spent to show the children's style. Moreover, photography technology is now very common, a better mobile phone to take photos may not be worse than professional photography results, teachers can use a mobile phone can get graduation photos, why must spend so much money to toss?
If parents really have needs, they will take their children to the photo studio to take artistic photos, take photos or something, and record the child's growth process. The school uniformly organizes students to take this "deluxe version" of graduation photos, which is not suitable and will give people the feeling of forced consumption.
There is a teacher in our school who insists on recording the children's lives with cameras every day, learning moments, a folder for each student, and when the child graduates, he sends the photos taken by the child for six years to the parents. This practice not only leaves good memories for their teaching career, but also allows parents to see the process of children's gradual growth, many parents say that they do not have such a complete photo of their children at home, and they are very grateful to this caring teacher for achieving very good educational results.
The purpose of taking graduation photos is to leave a good time and record the footprints of growth, if the fee is often hundreds of dollars, it becomes a "sky-high" commodity, or even a means of showing off wealth and comparison, it loses the original meaning of graduation photos.
Taking graduation photos still has to return to the children themselves, and the school should not give up the end, and let the bells and whistles cover up the meaning of the graduation photos themselves.
