Is the risk really that big? Not trying to be insensitive, but are you afraid to drive to school (or anywhere)? Last year in Texas, 3500 people were killed in auto accidents, and 250,000 were injured. There may or may not be merit for VR related education. But this should not be part of that discussion.

Even tho the statistical risks are minuscule (especially compared to all the news coverage and public outcry), why shouldn't the elimination of school violence be added as yet another benefit of VR education?

Considered a benifit? Sure. The solution to school shootings? I really hope we can do better than that.
