"Educational purposes" can indeed count as fair use. You're probably not going to get into trouble if, as a teacher, you copy a 1 page poem from a book and distribute it to your class.
But "educational purposes" most assuredly does not include "copying a whole book and uploading it to the internet". That's just piracy, plain and simple.
Some hobbies and interests are indeed expensive. That doesn't mean that you're justified in pirating the books which enable your to pursue those hobbies.
I'm sorry, but what you're asking for in no way whatsoever constitutes "fair use". But please don't take my word for it - ask an intellectual property rights lawyer.
