There is a lot of difference, because this was a corporation and not the Legion of Doom.

Try to answer the question. Do you know why they were trying to educate the Na'vi?

I don't really remember, though I'm guessing Sigourney Weaver's group had more to do with that than the corporation.

Nope! It was actually corporate's idea.

See, the thing is that they figured if you offer the Na'vi medicine and an education, they might be willing to work for you - the idea was that the Na'vi were already adapted to the environmen, much stronger than humans, and wouldn't take hundreds of millions of dollars apiece to transport to Pandora.

They brought the science team to educate the Na'vi so that the Na'vi would be able to mine the unobtainium for them.

It's a lot more cost effective that way.
