VR isn’t a replacement for actual in person schooling. We’d be better off finding a solution that gets kids back into schools.

- dukeofdoom 6y agoI agree, you can't beat the real thing. I think we will probably have both though, going forward. Online classes will be a lot more popular even if the lockdown ends, and teachers will live stream by default. And kids interacting in a virtual school would be a nice addition to a real school too.
- ceilingcorner 6y agoEverything I’ve heard about online classes for K-12 has indicated that it’s been a disaster. Which is really not a surprise, considering that teaching is only a tiny portion of the function of a school. It’s also a daycare, lunchroom, social hall, and a million other things that can’t be replicated on a laptop screen. This is really a situation where “more technology” is not better.
