FERPA is an important act for education startups as it is the HIPAA of that domain. It gets more interesting for post-secondary education. By law, students have to grant permission to their parents to see their college grades. Decades ago, colleges used to post final exam test scores anonymously. How did they do that? They used SSNs. Of course, that practice is now verboten and schools actually try to use something other than an SSN as the foreign key of the student's records. http://www.studentaffairs.pitt.edu/sites/default/files/PDFsandForms/Parents/FERPA.pdf http://www.studentaffairs.pitt.edu/sites/default/files/PDFsa...
