"I can't sort out the issues, so here's the whole megilla, which I'm posting to several groups so that everybody can work on it."
That's not very considerate.
Furthermore, you won't get more than sympathy if you simply post your topic to a bunch of groups.
You would do much better by separating out the issues, and posting only the relevant issues to each group. Pose the issues carefully, and sort them out as specific queries: Put parenting issues on the Parenting group; teaching issues on the Teaching group, and so on.
If you feel that it's difficult to sort them out, then keep one thing in mind: the readers will have greater difficulty understanding and sorting out the issues than you.
That sorting out process will also help you refine queries so that you receive better responses.
