I’ve noticed over my short tenure here there are a few teachers on Lemmygrad. I’ve browsed the comm list before and haven’t found one specifically for teachers and people involved in educational systems.

Is there/should there be a comm like that?

I would love to have a place where educators could share resources, successes, and frustrations. I would not want it to devolve into an r/teachers hellhole. I have no idea no idea how to make one or even if that’s an option because of boomer brain. I’m not sure I want that responsibility either.

    Maybe a broader title that covers education in general would help people not to dox themselves. A community aimed at people of one profession may naturally begin to encourage people to reveal quite a bit of personal info. That should be worked avoided, ideally.

      That’s a good idea. Making community guidance clear about self-doxing too. However I could imagine this might be difficult to moderate.

      I don’t think the comm should be exclusively for educators either. Maybe the topic of education more broadly.
