Hey everyone, can you please help me what to do- I don't have and don't use anything from Google. Now for school I am asked to provide Gmail. Is there way out ? What else, maybe some other email provider is compatible with school emailing system, because now teacher must use her personal email to email me and she is not happy at all...

The blame isn't on you tbf nobody should be expected to drop their principles on a whim. Being compatible only with gmail is so bad.. I hope you can work it out but it's more a thing for school faculty to change.

Worst case scenario you make a burner acc. Are you sure there's no "login/connect with another provider" type link?
