With the advent of technology we ofteb heard that robot should teach in the schools. But if we think about this, is it really possible or justifiable to replace human teachers by robots. I think NO.

In a classroom the role of the teacher is not to just teach the children a particular topic at his/her own pace and leave the class. Teacher also analyse children’s behaviour, talk about their issues, give them moral support which is never possible by a robot. And if we talk about learning only then also teaching can change her method according to the comfort and understanding of children. He/she can use easy language help the child to understand the concepts by real life instancea but if we talk about robots they can teach what we program in then in a single way only. Robots also don’t able to recognise whether the child is understanding whatever they are trying to teach.

Apart from this, we humans are social animals. We learn by seeing other people doing things, discussing among each other. But if we replace human teachers by robots than learning become passive or one sided in which just robot is teaching and students are listening and can sometimes ask their enquiries. There is no interaction like as in classroom with teachers and students.

If we see the assessment of students it is true that robots can do assessment in a fast and efficient way and they can also tell students where they are lacking but robots can never understand individual needs. Whereas if we see a human teacher assessing even after referring to an exam sheet , she think about if a child made a progression or not. She also think about the previous assignment and discuss the improvement with children which is impossible with a robot teacher.

So for teaching we not only need knowledge, and efficiency but also understanding, emotions and engaging capabilities which is possible only in human beings.

So, we may take the help of robots in our school but we cannot replace them by teachers as learners need a direction to learn which is more important than lectures and a lots of human emotions which can be provided by a human teacher only.
