My understanding of CC-NonCommercial is that "selling at cost"
or "not selling for a profit" still qualifies as commercial use,
and therefore would not be allowed under CC-NonCommercial.

Which is my point. A lot of "Education" uses will not be permitted
by the CC-BY-NC-SA license which are educational (selling textbooks,
using materials as a paid instructor teaching a course, etc)

One of us is misunderstanding what is allowed under CC-NonCommercial.

<NonCommercial license>

any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial
advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other

considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or
private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary
compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works.

"no payment of any monetary compensation"

It doesn't say "provided the work is sold at cost"
