Meta thinks it's a good idea for students to wear Quest headsets in class

I work with headsets for work. It takes me 5-10 minutes of basic interaction to get wildly motion sick, 10-20 minutes for headaches to start, if I have to wear one for more than 30 minutes that's the only task I can do all day

They are heavy, can take a while to charge, often don't last long on that charge, they get hot, people who need glasses are still an afterthought for a lot of the designs

What a potato of a tool to try and force into schools. The tech isn't there yet and a lot of humans, like me, get physically sick when interfacing with them. Also what even is the use case they're hoping to do better at than a bunch of laptops or tablets?
