My last job called people’s high school to verify you graduated and would fire you if the school didn’t verify or didn’t exist anymore. Something like 60% of high schools refused any information, including if you even attended. Probably because my previous employer sold competing products those schools used.

I had to sign a release form for this shortly after I was hired.
