Why are school accounts deleted when a class ends?
I've heard that when a class ends, the student accounts are then deleted. This is unfair. What if you could make it so that when a class ends, instead of rudely deleting an account, maybe it's student status will change to “Former Student” and just keep the account. Please change this.

I don't believe they are deleted, it's just that the student cannot access it anymore.

This sounds like a suggestion.
That allows users to view projects, but former students can lose years of progress and cannot retrieve it except by backpacking from shared projects. But any unshared projects cannot be shared or finished again, which is saddening for the former student.

No. If your teacher ends the class, then you will simply lose access to your account; it will not be deleted. If your teacher doesn't end the class, then nothing will happen. OH NO, my account will be deleted?
