It is not that easy to implement and so I don't think the added value is
worth it. Also, with this children will tend to use the suggest feature
instead of thinking which is not what we are looking for.

This sounds complex to do, especially on the graphical side. Did you
made some research on the topic, have you some examples to show that it
is valuable in pedagogical terms?
