Make Student Accounts Not be Deleted Once the Class is Over

kingstimusPrime

Agreed I was in a class and there was a project I spent 2 weeks strait on then I go to access my account and I cant use the project. this is my alternate account .

Wait, this is a thing to delete is students' accounts be deleted after class is like, over?

Like, imagine, –
You spent hours on your project that you have made for days, and the next day,
You notice that your account is deleted and you didn't download the projects just incase.

So this is a BIG SUPPORT.

Yep, support. I think it’s weird how your acc is deleted after a class is over and it only confuses and upsets people so I definitely think this should be changed.

Support! This is just unfair.

Thats why i dont like to be a student account

Yes its unfair like think like you made a project and it got popular and featured you would be so happy wow my project got featured then when the class is over your account is gone then you will be really sad because you lost all your views on the project all the people who followed you,you get really sad so this should be stoopped even if i am not a student account i still understand how it feels

This, in my opinion, is unfair.

Lets say that a student account got popular. everyone would be so confused when they suddenly left! Sure, they could move accounts, but still! and, I have seen a popular student acc before, so it does happen

What it could be, is when a student account is made, it can ask ‘Do you want this account to be deleted after the class?’ or, an option to move a student account to a new class, such as the next year

Sorry if I seem a bit paranoid, but I know I would get upset if all of my hard work was lost. The student's friends might forever wonder what happened to them

edit: also, they should remove them being able to see whenever they love or favorite something. This honestly seems pointless and a waste of space, and they also might not want the teacher to know what they view

I know how to stop this to stop this find a youtuber who uses scratch and not only does scratch tutorials but reviews too then request him /her about this then all the thing on the youtuber if his/her video got viral then other youtubers will too do it then finally scratch team will make student account not to be deleted after class option

I read it on the Scratch Wiki. It might have changed though, but idk.

I honestly have been against this for a while- but haven't complained until now
Yep, looking at https://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Student_and_Teacher_Accounts

If the class ends, the teacher can close the class. The students who are a part of the class will then no longer have the ability to log in.
lol you Ninja'd me (view above post)
Hehe. It was pretty close.
yeah

anyway, I also don't think they should see when they comment. A comment can be very personal, if you know what I mean

For all you know, they could be planning a suprise for the teacher- doing this would disable the suprise!

Yep and if they have some private things to say liek anything like that then it wouldn't be so good so i think its unfair

My school account was not deleted… I think deleting the account is up to the teacher

The thing is, what if the student goes around loving and favoriting inappropriate projects? The teacher would probably need to know what they're seeing..

The student might get framed because projects can be edited, also, it's up to you to like/fave whatever you wanted to (as long as they are not your own projects)

But aren't inappropriate projects forbidden?

The projects will be banned anyway, since Scratch is for all ages. So I doubt something like this is going to happen. I don't think accounts should even be restricted unless it's a New Scratcher account.

And I don't see how it's pointless or a waste of space.
I think some projects could be appropriate for Scratch but not for school
School has to be all-ages, same with Scratch. Nothing could be appropriate for Scratch but not school unless schools count anything noneducational and distracting “inappropriate” but I don't think that would count.

Ya anything which is non educational is inappropriate for them

and it's also possible that it is a really inappropriate project and the ST hasn't taken it down yet and the student chose not to report it

My student account wasn't deleted when my class was over. It still exists, and the class ended 2 years ago.

I'm pretty sure you can tell if a class ended or not if it says “(Ended)” next to the class name on the student profile.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean that the class still exists, I meant that the account does. I should have clarified that.
