Will there still be schools and teachers in the future?

         As we can see for ourselves, today's technology is growing rapidly by the day. Nowadays, people don't need to go to a school and sit in a chair while the teacher explains the subjects in front of the class. They could just sit in front of their computer and search for a video in the internet that has all the information the teacher lectures them about. But personally, I think that there is no way that there will be no schools and teachers in the future.

        As I have said above, today's technology makes it possible to still study yet not be inside a classroom. Nowadays it is not uncommon to take an online course and listen to a lecture via internet. This gives us very flexible options, if we could not make it to the school then we might use this method.

        But if we take a step back and look at it all, schools are a place to obtain knowledge and broaden our insight. Teachers at school aren't the only people that can teach us useful things.... There are plenty of 'teachers' that we just don't realize. Have you ever heard the saying 'experience makes the best teacher'? Well, to me, that is a very accurate saying. We sometimes get the most useful knowledge from our own experiences, not from a lecture. And school isn't necessarily the only place we get knowledge, there are plenty more resourceful places we don't know of... Did you know your home might be one of the most important places to study? You study manners, life lessons, and many more at your own home.

        To conclude, I would say that someday there just might not be so called formal schools and teachers. But if we look closely, there are schools and teachers spread everywhere around us, without us even realizing it.
