I personally have received a lot of free classes at free-ed.com, including classes that I have yet
to take. I am a Sophomore in high school, taking enriched geometry, but I already have a thorough
understanding of the basic in trigonometry. I also take classes that I am currently in, and I have
found that in every class, I learn as much, if not more, that what my teachers teach. |

Many aspects of our educational system are outmoded. For example, the practice of giving lectures at
university is really a relic of the Middle Ages when the technology of printing had not yet been
invented. There is rarely any real need for lectures nowadays except when the lecturer is presenting
material so distinctive that it does not exist anywhere in book form. For 95% of lectures given in
the higher education system today, written material, accessed either in printed form or online,
would be preferable.
It would be better if students were responsible for their own education through personal study in
online texts. There should be a teacher available to offer advice if needed but the fact that all
education is given in a collective classroom context simply holds back the more able students and
brings them down to the level of the lowest common denominator. |

It would be harder to learn and would require too much work to program it to your learning
requirements. |

Several reasons:
1) Computers are not sufficiently advanced enough to replace teachers. When true AI, or passably
true AI exists, then perhaps this would be possible(Though there are many theoretical arguments
against why true AI is impossible).
2) Computers can provide information, learning is a different issue.
3) Large amounts of information on the internet is anonymously authored, and not very reliable.
Growing up with "bugs" in your thinking processes isn't that great(Though traditional teaching
introduces such bugs as well - "My country is the greatest" etc)
4) Compare learning something less trivial than "trigonometry". If you had to learn Aikido/Tennis
from a "computer", it might be possible, for a very dedicated individual. But can you beat learning
from a master, who you can see doing the right moves.
5) Social interaction/motivation. If 100 students were taught by a teacher, in traditional methods,
some of them might feel 'slowed down' or 'restricted', but they have the advantage of discipline.
The same 100 students left to learn by themselves would do far far worse on average in a long term
scenario(1 year is long term).
In this case, it's a question of slow&steady vs fast&unreliable.
Certain select students might really be able to utilize the limitless potential of all the knowledge
available over the internet, but they are the EXCEPTION, not the rule.
Computers are great in education, whether using wikipedia, or looking up journal articles, how-to
videos, etc etc etc
A human brain has over a hundred billion neurons, on average. The number of interconnections
possible exceeds the predicted number of atoms in the universe. Computers may one day replace
teachers fully, but there's a while before they approach the outer limits of human capability. A few
decades at the least, but who can say? |

No way who would want a computer talking for 70 minutes |

No way! Teachers are a vital part of our economy. If we were to replace teachers with computers than
millions of jobs would be lost and the recession would deepen even more. Children's grades would
also fall dramatically, as they could easily cheat and get away with it. Students need teachers as
they can tailor lessons to a specific classes needs and give feedback on work. Computers cannot have
compassion, interest or any other emotion to a student. |

If students were to learn from computers, they would just cheat and do something else because the
computer can do nothing about it. Also, the students would go on game websites or go on
inappropriate websites. And when the parents fine out, the school will be close down. |
| |
|

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. |
