And I think you are correct in that many teachers are going to be rendered unnecessary. Justice at last.

Capable, caring human teachers can provide things no computer, algorithm or AI system will never provide.

Only a human being can convey to another human being the unique characteristics of our species: compassion, empathy, honesty, reason and logic, among others. Maturity and emotional intelligence come from our interactions with other people.

The world doesn’t need a population of walking encyclopedias. It needs more humans with compassion, intelligence, and curiosity.

Very true.

But I am not speaking of those. There are many teachers and professors who don't provide what you describe. In fact, the ones that need to be replace are the ones indoctrinating America's children into Marxism.

We need the kind of teachers who show students why learning and curiosity are important parts of being alive...and teach students not just information and/or knowledge but HOW TO THINK about learning and how to approach the world so as to understand it.

Unfortunately, many of the schools today kill students' enthusiasm for learning. By the time they get to middle school, students' natural curiosity and excitement about learning has been murdered.

I don't necessarily blame the teachers for this--or even the schools. I just think it's a very difficult job.

The point of schools ought to be to ignite a fire for learning and equip students with the understanding of how to approach life so as to learn and think in the most effective ways.
