You could well, do it at home on a personal account.
and this can be use to bypass these restricted things.

Well if Scratch could have a way to have restricted mode in which doesn't allow you to do much things or view much projects as many of the stuff on here is inappropriate

scratchgodo is right, this wouldn't solve communication with strangers if the people made a personal scratch account, which is very likely

1. Sign out from your school account.
2. Create a regular account completely for free with no restrictions (pretty sure you can use the same email for multiple accounts, too.)
3. Log in with that instead and have all of the website's functions available to you.

If teachers want to keep kids from accessing the other parts of Scratch, their best bet is to install the offline editor on all of the machines the students will use.

Separating the website, will just divvied the community. That's the reason why 13+ version of Scratch is rejected.

Would this ban off-site websites such as turbowarp?

Would it prevent me from playing projects not made by peers or teachers?

1. Its a scratch change, not a change to your browser, that would be physically impossible without the website abusing some glitch to make you download a extension or virus

2. Likely so


Anyways, I see no reason why you'd use this when you could just make your students use the offline editor + some random school website that lets you submit and create assignments

Considering that Scratch has social media functions. This allows people to talk to strangers, and see hurtful comments from them.

I feel like a restricted version of the site can be made, for students who use the site for school projects.

What will it do?
1. Restrict access to some of the website, such as
- Viewing other people's profiles (Making where you can only view your school friends/teachers accounts),
- Discuss forum (as many of the users on there anyway are mostly strangers),
- Commenting (as this is related to social media anyway, and the students can just use Canvas to talk to their teachers),
- Following other accounts (Like commenting, this is related to social media. And most of the users are strangers anyway. Instead, it can only be used to keep in touch with the teachers and students in class)
- Disable Remixing (considering that remixing a project, doesn't make it yours fully. And some students may use this to plagiarize others work as their own.)

2. It will be more school friendly and it will allow users to submit Scratch Projects as their school assignments. Like Canvas.

3. Not only if this will help the schools consider using the site, this can benefit the students into not doing the wrong thing.

Will this help?
Scratch is really meant to be a tool to use to help kids learn to code. It doesn't do much to add this feature. If you want this, set up a OneDrive for the students to put their exported projects in, and Download Scratch 3. You can teach them how to use it and the basics from there.

What about people with school accounts that they actively use even though the class is over. Yes, new accounts will be able to make personal accounts but what about those who already built an identity with their school accounts and have hundreds of projects? I know a certain forumer who uses a school account for regular use, and there’s many more people like them.

Download the offline editor. It is not connected to the internet.

Yeah, I don't see why you couldn't just use the offline editor.
