School Signup Is Now Safer and More Controlled

 We recently made an important policy and signup change to better protect schools and teachers.

Previously, a student could potentially create an account and select a school affiliation directly. The problem with that approach is obvious: a student could choose a school they do not actually belong to, and then the school would be stuck cleaning up those accounts later.

That is not a good burden to place on schools.

So we changed the system.

Students no longer sign up with direct school affiliation through public account creation. Instead, school-based student access should begin through a teacher/class code. That gives teachers much better control over who is actually entering their classroom space.

We also added the ability for teachers to remove students from a class. If that was the student’s only class, the student account remains active, but school-sponsored free access is removed. This is a much cleaner and more professional approach than deleting accounts or leaving schools to untangle mistaken affiliations.

The goal is simple: make it easier for real students to join correctly, and much harder for school access to be claimed casually or inaccurately.
