Will there still be schools and teachers in the future?

           Scientists said that in the future, computers and robots will probably take jobs of teaching. This is a really cool idea--since I am the laziest person on earth--, but I do not believe it will happen.

           It is true that computers are already very clever these days. These computers and robots can think, walk, eat, play with, work, cook, teach, etc. A lot of programs are made to help us learn about everything. CDs of school subjects are uncountable. Teacher Robots are already made too in Japan.

           But we need teachers. Robots may have conversations with us, but there is no emotion. We will desperate when we can not understand a subject, but the robots will not understand us. They will only teach and teach. When we get really ill, and we fail a test because of that, these robots will not care. No one will get angry or punish us. That may be awesome, but we will get spoiled too much.

           If there will be no school..... imagine, how lazy and fat will we be when there are no more school activities. No climbing stairs, changing classes, PE lessons, or chatting with friends? Wow, children are going to be as fat as those people on Wall-E movie. I mean, school sometimes sucks, but actually, we need it.

          To conclude, I would like to say that robots and computers taking jobs of teaching is a great idea. Someday, that might happens. But we still need school teachers, because they are the ones who have built our behaviors. Also, kids and teenagers need a place called school to explore and socialize. Individualism nowadays are bad enough, we can not let it worse. And finally, if we get too easy to do everything (helped by robots, etc), that will not be good for our health.
