Can you promote in r/askteachers?
Whether you are a student, parent or someone else, please feel free to ask real questions of real teachers here. We strive to be civil, respectful and honest. However, this is not the appropriate sub for polls, surveys or product promotion.
The short answer
Do not mention or promote your product or company; instead provide neutral, helpful answers and invite private contact only if appropriate off-platform.
What works here
- answering questions as a teacher or expert
- providing non-commercial advice and resources
- civil, school-appropriate discussion
What gets posts removed
- promotion of products, services, or profit-driven entities
- running surveys, polls, or soliciting leads
- posting commercial links or recruitment messages
