I’m just floating an idea here. If people that do software development for a living aren’t willing to tackle this; how about making this a project for a university where students that are studying for a degree in education (with a focus on said age groups) get teamed up with the software students, and see what they come up with? They get good grades, the university can market something that gives back to the community and the school itself, and future students get to do the upgrades, enhancements, etc? Thoughts?

You raise good points. One thing about Second Life is that it is strictly for adults (18+). However, we have a separate “grid” called “Teen Second Life” (http://teen.secondlife.com/) that is exclusively for 13-17 yr olds. All content on the Teen Grid is PG, there is no gambling or casinos, and it is carefully monitored to keep it as teen-safe as possible.
