College Board is the DMV of education. You don't go there because you want to; you go there because you have to. It's a massive, bureaucratic machine that manages the SAT, AP exams, and the CSS Profile. While it’s technically 'safe' from a content perspective, it is the primary source of digital anxiety for millions of teenagers.
From an intentionality standpoint, the goal isn't to 'limit' this—it's to manage it. You want to be the co-pilot here. Help your kid navigate the data privacy settings (specifically the 'Student Search Service') and keep an eye on the mounting fees. It’s a utility, not a destination, so treat it with the same enthusiasm you’d give to filing taxes: get in, do the work accurately, and get out.
