Computers can replace human teachers

1)"They (robots)just have to cover the bare minimum necessary aspects of our educational system" I would like to ask my readers - Wouldn't you prefer teachers who are capable of covering ALL the necessary aspects of the educational system over these robots who on the contrary can only provide 'bare minimum' aspects of it. 2)"Who do these human teachers think they are anyway trying to take the position of 'role model' for our kids? That right belongs to the parents alone. Any parents out their reading this tell me if you ever find it annoying when your kid starts quoting their teacher to argue with your view as if he/she knows better than you their Dad/Mom? Your trying to raise your kids to hold at least a certain extent of your values so you don't have to worry about them once your dead and their totally on their own. This is your right and one of the reasons people have kids to pass on part of themselves in their child's character. Who does the teacher think he/she is to take that away from you? They are in your way (the parent) in raising your kids." To this I would only like to say that a teacher is one of the strongest pillar in shaping a child's future. I am sure that everyone has either met or heard of a teacher who have changed their life or the lives of others. I certainly have met such a teacher who has inspired me to be who I am.She motivated me all through my school days and if I am here debating on this topic then its all because of the support she gave me in building up my confidence. Moreover my opponent had rightly pointed out that it is awkward for children to talk about sensitive issues with their parents unless they are very good parents - "Its awkward just to think about having that conversation. Unless you have very good parents, you probably will just keep this to yourself and try handling it on your own. And the truth is a lot of parents just don't meet up to that par. " I certainly do feel that there is a difference between parents and friends. However teachers are our those friends who act as our second parents. I think the only person one would ever like to look unto for advice after ones' parents are his teachers. 3)"Concerning 'computers cant replace good teachers', if we are allowed to add to the resolution in round 2 like that then I add to it that by computers it means 'androids that would put Data from Star Trek to shame'. Since its added to the resolution we get to debate as if those androids were real today." There is nothing to add as a resolution in this context. It is pretty obvious that when I talk about teachers better than computers I certainly mean that "good" teachers can't be replaced by a computer. A 'bad' teacher can be replaced by anything and everything because all the qualities I mentioned in my arguments can only be found in a good teacher. 4)"Why do I think it will save money; Because I know how long term investments are cost efficient. Paying for a wind turbine will mean on electricity you will have paid more than you would have not buying it for the first few years. But after even more years go by the saving from what your not paying the power company will have added up enough to pay of the equipment. If you listen to any financial guru out their you'll find they advise making long term investments if you want to get out of debt, or even get rich." Not all the countries can afford that long term investment, in this way several countries will lag behind in the race of development.This will in turn spread inequality, unrest and will hamper fraternity among several countries. 5)"We are not looking to make things greater than us that could revolt against us to fulfill the resolution. only something that can baby sit a class of students and guide them through the learning process equipped with all the bare minimum functions needed to do that." If this is the case then I think my opponent should revise his definition for replacement.To answer this argument I can only say that if these computers are made to 'baby sit a class of students' then they are in no way replacing the teachers. 6)"In Japan teachers play much less of a role than what my opponent says they do and look how their students turn out. they are stereotyped as smarter than us and their is a reason for this. reducing the teaching process to that which a computer is only capable of will force the students to think on their own rather than have a teacher think of some way to dumb down the material for them to think less and still get it." This is the case of just one country. I don't think that ALL the countries will be able to take up such an action. This will lead to the development conflict among the countries.I have already mentioned this before. As for my new arguments... A computer can never lead a discussion and respond in intelligent ways to student questions. In a discussion of history or government or economics (my subjects) a computer would not be able to answer any but the most frequently asked questions. It would be like expecting a student to learn straight from a book without any teacher to explain the text to them or to answer questions that were only tangentially related to the text. There are not many students self-motivated enough to learn alone. Most students need a flesh and blood support system that gives instant feedback and offers spontaneous face-to-face communication. That's why so many college students fail online courses--no self-motivation, no independent study skills, and insufficient time-management.
