best thing ever is to set up a separate account for colleges so the personal account isn’t taken over by college emails. AND I wholeheartedly agree about being very tight with sharing it when taking standardized testing.
kid has 3 emails set up now. Required HS account. Personal. College.
It’s been a very long process getting him to figure this all out; he’s a scattered kid. But Lindagraff - you are right. They can do this. If they can check their texts/snaps/etc they can certainly be trained to check emails!
