Yearbooks are nice because they include the whole class, for the whole year. But if parents want to only buy pictures of their own kids, then that might be the end of year books for everyone else.

It’s things like this that put the “i” in “iNternet” (or at least the “my kid” ), and often leaves the “my community” out entirely.

That’s one thing about the internets – it’s so easy to strip content of a lot of it’s meaning by removing its context.
