Robots can never take a teacher's job. I think that people are too paranoid about this AI/robotics madness.

Even with technology, there is a need for a teacher who makes learning easier.

For me, interaction with the teacher personally is still the best way of learning process. We may use technologies as our references.

Khan Academy and MOOC's are the future of education. AI can easily determine if young people are learning. At least in my opinion.

With the internet it's possible to have education entirely online. Tablets, smart phones etc. etc. Khan academy for example.

National Teacher Shortage Crisis (Could go either way) says
There's a national teacher shortage. 50% of all new teachers are projected to leave the profession within their first 5 years. Experienced teachers are running from the profession and fewer every year are entering it. This is a national crisis everyone's ignoring. Eventually it will sink in and people will start looking for solutions. In our current culture, that solution certainly doesn't lean towards incentivizing new teachers to enter and stay in the profession. What do you do to fix this problem? The answer that's easy, that causes the least disruption, that requires the least change in the system, that is cost effective, is automation. What seems more likely? Drastic cultural and systematic change, or people like Mark Zuckerberg, who have literally said they are investing in the development of these educational technologies, actually taking advantage of new market and filling the demand with automation?
