Should Teachers Be Replaced By Computers?

Computer vs. Teacher

This one is pretty self explanatory… should teacher's be replaced by computers that have an unlimited source of knowledge and resources?

Computers Replaced Teachers Should

I don't think computers could ever reach that stage. They may be able to have lots of info, but they cannot discern, care, 'say just the right things', smile, etc.

Nooo!! No way!! Even if the technology may be available to do it, I cannot agree with it. The human contact is a MUST in teaching, computers cannot have 'understanding' for instance of a student with special needs, don't have the ability to communicate with them in a social manner, they're basically machines but teachers… let me say good teachers… impart not only of their knowledge to their students but they also CARE about them, doing anything to make them progress and learn. Machines can never do something like that.

I don't think so.  A computer will only do what it's programmed to do.  It could not be programmed to care for or nurture a child.  There is no way a computer could show emotion, even if it was programmed to do that.  It wouldn't be the same.  Kids need some kind of interaction between teacher and student.  A computer could answer many questions that the child may ask, but how could it answer a question about emotional feelings?

Computers Replaced Teachers Should

Definitely not. Children need to be nurtured in the right manner and that includes much more than just facts and knowledge. There's the emotional well-being, the warmth of a human smile, A thousand smilies or emoticons cannot replace the approving smile of a teacher. Teachers provide guidance on what is socially or morally right or wrong.

And anyway, I believe most of us has a crush on one of the teachers sometime during our growing up years ..... because that teacher displayed concern, care, warmth, friendliness and just old-fashioned love. How can a computer replace that.

Oh yeah! I totally agree with you girl! I think the same thing. Can you imagine the youth how it is now if these kids instead of having teachers have computers to teach them? : I don't want to even mention the results!

This is a great topic! I agree with the things that have been said. There's such an element of personality that a human brings to another. Plus, very few things ever go exactly as planned in a classroom, particularly with the younger ones, and a computer would not be able to think on the fly as well as a human, in my opinion. Teachers can easily fill up space by thinking on the fly, and while computers can compute, it wouldn't have a great gathering on spotaneity.

I agree wholeheartedly with what has already been said about the ability to care and nurture. On top of that, one of the best teaching tools is experience. When I teach my girls at work, a lot of what I teach them comes from the things I have experienced in life. A computer wouldn't be able to have that effect.
