Your ideas for discussion indeed have merit. I am not sure they fit the channel model, but they may. You need to have a group of teachers who wish to participate in this discussion.
Why can't you just have this discussion in the teacher chat area?
Float the questions in teacher chat, see what responses you get and see if people want or need a channel for this discussion.
When we have put similar ideas into a channel they have fizzled.
