Top management of a Suqian, Jiangsu Province high school were digitally added into a graduation photo because they were "too busy" to take the picture with the graduating seniors, reported Yangtze Evening Post.

Some of the Qinghua Middle School students said that they were hurt the school's leaders did not make time to take the graduating photo with them, while parents were surprised to see the senior staff with identical facial expressions, clothing and postures in each and every class photo.

To leave enough room to PhotoShop in the school leaders, the students took their graduation photo with a line of empty chairs in front of them.

"We all know who those seats are reserved for," one student told the paper.

A high school staffer meanwhile defended the decision to PhotoShop in the leaders.

"We do this to save time, and we do it every year," the staff said, describing the case as a non-issue since school leaders are "not familiar with the students anyway."
