South Koreans are thinking of replacing their teachers with robot teachers. 30 test robots have already been sent out to classrooms to collect data. This idea is said to be completely great because now, no one will have to deal with paying teachers, giving teachers sick leave, building retirement funds, etc. And, the best part...
Students who are too afraid to talk to human teachers and ask questions of human teachers will feel more at ease with a robot teacher!! Isn't that great?! Ingenious I tell you.
Stupid.
If this idea spreads to America, I might just move far away, probably to another planet. Dramatic? Not when it comes to the education of children.
Let's teach our children to talk to people of their own species, not to shy away from them and lean toward technology for communication. Seriously, what a hindrance for them...to have to rely on technology to get thoughts across.
Here's the link so my rambling might make at least a little bit of sense.
