Replacing teachers with software doesn't sound like a recipe for success to me.

Simply adding distractions like tablets and laptops is already doing plenty of damage.




I agree, but that's because (good) teaching is also being a interactive model for those hungry little brains, and are needed when something occurs outside the specialization of the software.

The "distractions" are harmful because suddenly kids are getting their world views and expectations from too-ficticious characters or "influencers" with perverse incentives.
