Reading meta literature on the subject, I became convinced that the ability to address a group should be limited to moderators or admins. In this case, the parent that is elected representative for the class.

A collection of links on this topic, for my reference:

This frames the problem of group alerts, and the reasons why this idea could be horribly abused:  
[https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-include-a-group-of-participants-in-a-post-and-where-should-be-groups-management/7094?u=blau](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-include-a-group-of-participants-in-a-post-and-where-should-be-groups-management/7094)

This documents a feature that I see on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) but can’t reproduce on my setting:

> [@Prioritize showing group members (not posts) on group landing page, describe groups, provide groups directory](https://meta.discourse.org/t/prioritize-showing-group-members-not-posts-on-group-landing-page-describe-groups-provide-groups-directory/15719/5):

> See: [https://meta.discourse.org/groups/discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/discourse) The only way I know of browsing to them is by looking at a user’s profile page, then clicking on the group name.

There’s a 200 member limit in the UI, not in the application itself:
