Midaber 8 - Mechanical Teacher: Good or Bad?


http://www.cdkenterprises.com/coloring/toys/robot1a.gifThe story "The Fun They Had" was written by Isaac Asimov,  50 years ago. The story is about a child who lives in the 22th century. This child finds a book, which is a rare thing. The book is about the way the students used to learn in the past.  The future children are taught by a mechanical teacher. I prefer our method of learning, which is in class with a teacher. Even though studying with a mechanical teacher has some advantages.

In addition, in our home we are alone, we don't make any friends. With the mechanical teacher's method of learning you stay at home and you study alone.

In our method of learning the teacher is human, he can understand us and our feelings and be more than just a teacher who teaches, but a teacher for life, who teaches the students about culture and politeness. In addition, human teachers can understand humans better than a machine can, they understand our mistakes in homework and in tests and can teach us how to correct them. The mechanical teacher can understand only what he is programmed to.

To conclude, in my opinion, the best way of learning is the way we learn, with a real teacher in a school because a human being needs company. Moreover, a human being needs more than just a teacher who teaches, but also a teacher for life who can understand him, as a human being. 

Better, but it's still a bit messy.

  1. in my view human teachers are better than computer teacher because if all students study with computer teachers then no human beings get job or employment and not get there income
