I've started a couple of (in-person) chess classes for mostly young children, and we're using Lichess as the default place to put studies, solve puzzles, etc. We have a team and things work great, but what's lacking is the ability for a student to designate an account as their "teacher" (as opposed to just a normal follow). I can think of a couple of useful privileges this would grant, and I'm sure there are others:
1. The "teacher" account would be able to communicate with the student account even if the student account is in "Kid Mode" (most of the parents of the kids in the class opted to put their accounts in Kid Mode since they're in the 8-10 age range, but that prevents me from messaging them to tell them about events, review things with them, etc)
2. The "teacher" account would be able to view the puzzle dashboard (most importantly the history) of the student account. Right now I can see how _many_ puzzles they solved from just the public profile, but I can't see which puzzles they missed. The types of insights the puzzle dashboard generates would be *invaluable* to a teacher.
3. The "teacher" account would be able to assign challenges on the students' behalf. It would be fun to run little matches between students in the class, and of course we can do this currently, but it would just be simpler if I could set up the matches for them rather than have to explain to twenty different sets of parents how to find profiles, create challenges, etc.
I'm sure others can come up with dozens of other examples. Any thoughts from the devs?
