| Should Computers Replace Teachers? |
| With as much technology that is available today, students learn better from a computer than from a teacher. Do you believe this to be true? |

NO!!! Believe it or not, there actually are a lot of us young people who learn much better with an
actual person teaching us and answering our questions and tailoring the lessons to a specific
class's needs. I find it very hard to learn from a computer. Even just printing stuff out helps.
Computers are NOT the ideal method of learning for a lot of people. |

Computers aren't yet able to adjust to a students learning style. |

No way they would jump around and throw things at the computer. Plus how would it pass out any thing
it would tell kids to pass it out and then they would throw it away. There would be a lot of
cheating and cheting.The kids would love it. |

Teachers are very helpful to students because when a student has a question, they can go ask their
teacher. |

No, I don't think computers should replace teachers. Children need the one on one learning that
teachers provide. I don't think children would learn as much just using a computer. I think having
reports where you stand up in front of the class and present them is a vital part of school.
Children also need the interaction with other children. It is a part of growing to be a social
being. I would never recommend taking this route in teaching kids and if it ever came about that
that is the way teaching would start happening, I would home school my children. |

No, who wants some machine speaking monotone for 70 minutes? |

No, absolutely not. As a student I'm saying it's a terrible idea. Teachers are able to asses
students based on a relationship a computer would never be able to build. Teacher also teach
valuable mannerisms. Plus with computers there is such a thing called information overload which i
can't imagine being good for a student...or how about this, next time you have a problem with an
assignment, ask your computer. If it does answer you, see if you don't take the fallowing hour
trying to analyze the information so you can use it . |

One thing about the student-teacher relationship that plays a very important role in ensuring
maximum learning is the human connection or bond. A teacher does not only provide education he is a
friend and a confidant in so many cases. A good teacher attends to the needs of a student according
to his mood and personal needs etc. For example often young children are given more time to grasp a
concept and do certain work simply because they are dealing with a family situation at home like a
divorce maybe. A computer can never cater to these human needs. |

There are a great many things that only a person can teach. At present computers lack the know how
to adapt to a students needs. Good teachers are able to alter their teaching style to make sure
that the lessons are sinking in.
While I am all for textbooks on CD or online, computers are no substitute for real live teachers. |

There are just things that a person can only teach. |

That's ridiculous, no matter how advanced computers have gotten in recent years, they cannot compete
with the abilities that a human teacher has. They cannot adjust strategies or teaching styles to
deal with different situations and students, they cannot have compassion or interest or any other
emotion toward a student.
Computers are great in their place, but they do not have universal application. |

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about a bad economy... Another huge loss in jobs. Teachers are just as
important, as nurses, firemen, and police. |

Although technology is a wonderful teaching tool, I do not believe that a computer could ever
replace a teacher. I believe that teachers should be better trained to use the technology in the
classroom. Computers do not have that human element that students need to learn. Computers do not
care about the student's personal problems or learning disabilities. Teachers are needed to help and
guide students. They nurture the student and offer praise. Therefore, I do believe that technology
is a great tool in the classroom; it will never replace a real teacher. Teachers and technology
together are the best way to teach today's students. |
