I don't think it's going to be replaced by robots because it's a job to maintain close relationships with students.

Teachers also have a duty to educate students about their morality and personality. A.I. will never be able to do this.

Being a teacher is really complex and unique. I do not think a robot can do it.

Children need validation and a teacher s comment and praise which boosts their confidence. This cannot be done by AI.

AI is too unemotional and this does not work.

As a teacher, there is too much of a human element to rely solely on technology to do this work.

The human element is too important

Kinda hard for a machine to listen to students, make questions properly and have discipline. Teaching humanity and values isn't a task a robot can do from my point of view. At least not in the approx. 20 years.

“Discipline” needs to be removed from schools as it is discriminatory and dehumanising. If you’re talking about teachers having self-discipline, that is not something an AI would need. Computers have limitless stamina and focus.

Since teachers have different ways of thinking to their students, and they have to prepare different plans and ways of teaching in order to help their students to learn. Since Artificial Intelligence may not have emotion as humans do, they can’t use the same ways of teaching to different types of students.

AI can be adaptive, what utter nonsense.
