If a teacher has been inactive for over 6 months, the class is converted to a studio where the students are all curators and the teacher is the host. The student accounts are all converted to normal accounts, but the teacher is still a teacher who can create new classes.

Existing classes if this is implemented will have 6 months for their teacher to join back in before they are disbanded

I am not in a class myself, but this would make it so inactive, redundant classes are removed while the students can still interact with eachother and such.

Im pretty sure there is a problem or two with this, but I'm too lazy to dream them up.

Great idea! Support! I have seen many inactive classes, but like one active member, since most likely that class is over, but that one member still enjoyed scratch.

But why? What's wrong with just leaving them as classes - there aren't any restrictions with that. This would just be unnecessarily complicated

Classes should not be deleted just because of inactivity. They should be left as they should be. I know there are random classes floating around everywhere in Scratch, but just leave them be. No support.

This would solve random classes just floating around scratch. But wouldn't automating it take a long time? Or will scratch team do it manually.

Yes, but people who are in class are not going to be happy when a teacher is like “oh, this is lying around” and close the class, deleting all of the student's accounts by accident. If a teacher has not been active for over 6 months, whatever program or other that warrants it's creation is probably over, so if it is turned into a studio the teacher can't accidentally remove and such. People like the dude with the chocolate bar for a pfp wouldn't have to worry about their class being deleted and thus their account.

Students should have an option on their profile page - some may want to stay in the class, but some may want to leave.

Yeah, quite a few teachers do that.

Incase the teacher closes the classes when there is still an active student or two.

This is honestly a good idea.

Welcome to the suggestions forum! it's nice to know your opinion, but please explain why you think its a good idea in the future.

@MagicCoder330 It's good, probably because when a class graduates, moves up, etc, personal info could be leaked if it were to be hacked or used for malicious purposes, so if a teacher is inactive, it's a great idea to delete the class after 90 days.
