When I use CC-BY-SA materials to teach people a programming language
(for example), that is definitely educational use.

I do so for a fee directly paid for this service; that is definitely
commercial use.

So I think it's flatly false to say that educational use is not
considered commercial. So it's disingenuous to expect people to
interpret a Non-Commercial clause this way.

Which part of my definition do you disagree with?

I don't see how you could agree that I'm making educational use for
profit, but somehow say that is “not considered commercial” use. And if
you want it to be “not considered commercial” for the purposes of
interpreting the CC-NC clause, then I think you're trying to make the
terms mean the opposite of what they say.
