Oh, this reminds me:

One of my email addresses somehow ended up as the main parent address for a random student at Institut Els Pallaresos, a Catalan school.

To be clear, I have no connection to this person, the emails just started coming out of the blue. I've chased the school to stop sending me emails; they said they'll update the email on the account, but nothing changed.

I currently receive timely updates about this child concerning the following:

* school events

* grades

* misbehaving in school

* missed classes (the kid skips a lot of classes btw)

* performance

I am also able to use my email to sign into the account on ieduca (the software platform the school uses) and see a bunch of personal information (e.g. home address).

I've repeatedly pointed this out to the school and they've done nothing about it. At this point I've resorted to sending all emails to spam.




> (e.g. home address).

Have you considered contacting the kid's parents about this?


I'm already feeling uncomfortable having access to this private information. I don't want to make use of it in any way, and there's no telling how the family would receive the news.
