3. Will or should computers replace teachers? Explain.


My answer to the question above is no. Computers, are one of the innumerable machines that human beings had invented. How could teachers be possibly replace by computers, since "teachers" are actually human beings that can think flexibly, while the computers can only poccess what "we", the human command them. There are two things that I can prove computer will or should never replace teachers.

First, the people who we call teachers are so much better than computer because teachers can talk to students with emotions on their face, with suggestions, problems about homeworks or materials that students don't understand, and talk about things that are not related to school subjects. Well, I know that the computers can have pictures that shows emotions, suggestions to be provide when we type in our requests. However, the computers can't talk about non-school subjects unless someone install such a program. Sometimes, ESL students might not know english vocabularies to ask a specific questions. In this case, teachers can guess what the students wanted to know and provide the corresponding answers. Computers can't guess and give out correct answers unless people have put in the correct words.


Second, in most of the cases, teachers are always happen to be some one who are older than students. They are meant to receive respects from the students no matter what. This is also a very good point to bring out because when kids in young age, they have a lot of stuffs to learn, such as manner, living habbits, how to talk, how to play games, and etc. Teachers can teach all these things that a kid need to know with their personal experiences. Teachers know what is more accurate to make kids willing to learn and listen. Teachers allowed students to learn thing in a envirnment with love. In contrast, computers can't do it. Computers can't take the kids to the play ground and teach them how to play games, nor teach the kid table manner by showing the kids with actions. Although the computers can show the kids manner with pictures and words, it is not really accurate because the kids might not have enough education to understand all the words. Or the kids with disablilities might also have a problem with sight or hearing.
