If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but others need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do? In some cases, they already pbetter than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more csharing their private information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He probots will do most work of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain s. Then they will adapt (使……适应) the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely robots will ever understand other people's feelings and be able to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. Teachers all over the world are l . In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9 to 16 percent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't suffer from stress, or get t, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Teaching is generally recognized as difficult and teachers feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not "Will robots take the place of teachers?" but "How can robots help teachers?" Office workers can use software to do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, i more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
