We wrestled with this and don't generally advise that our teachers join the 
list.  It's not that it is not informative, but, as Jason said, there are 
many with questions who do not administer the system.  We try to encourage 
them to ask us in our hosef-managers lists, but this is hardly the solution 
for a global audience.

I would eagerly join a teacher focused list.  Incidentally, the debian-edu 
list wrestled with this and just recently started as less technical list.  We 
would eagerly host such a forum, but I imagine that there are better options 
like redhat.  If not, we are at your service in setting this up.
