You can leave a school and choose whether they keep a read-only copy or lose access entirely. PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN • No social features turned on by default — every connection is explicit. • Individual teacher data is never sold. Only anonymized aggregate insights leave the platform. SUBSCRIPTION TalimK12 is free to try for 20 days. After that, $2.99/month or $24.99/year keeps your account active.
