Dear Educators/Developers,

I think creating an Educational Configuration of Blender is not the best solution for first glance. The method, the way we teach the application can show a "light side" and a "hard side" of the software. I think finding the right approach is quite hard, but I tried to introduce the application via the technology, pipeline which also defines the rational and quick ways in the application. My experience is that if I can introduce, and teach the basic methods well, the pupils start to search, learn the right way in any kind of software, no matter what kind of build is that. I don't think it's a good method to create a software with less or specialized features, or operational interface, it can lead to a very hard situation (different documentation, "why to learn the software again if I can learn it once?").  Blender was an inhouse software, and i think it's still wears that cloth, I have no problem with that, and we can teach it as is, there is many more
 complicated applications are which people need to use.   


it was just my opinion , I will continue the thinking on that....
