Citation needed for the schooling part.

  It's obviously a conjecture, not citation needed.

    I bet there are studies being done in Australia or other rural parts of the world… have a look at „school of the air“ rather fascinating topic.

  Kids being left at home to "go to school" in VR has obvious economic benefit. You don't have to spend time in the morning to make sure the kid is ready for school, if your kid is gifted you don't need special transportation to the magnet school for gifted kids, you can have remote monitoring instead of parent teacher conferences, way easier to deal with bullying, e.t.c. For teachers as well, they can teach from home, which means they don't have to be colocated in the same area as the school, and so on.

    You would leave your kids alone at home with only virtual oversight?

    As the father of a 5 year old, correct me if I’m wrong but don’t kids need to interact with other kids in meatspace? What is with this dystopian vision people keep pushing that has everything virtual? Why would anybody want to live in that?
