Can technology replace teachers?

Absolutely not. I believe that technology can help the process of


learning, but it certainly cannot replace the role of the teacher. The
information and experiences a teacher brings to the table are far
superior than those of a software program.
First of all, both human skills and human contact cannot be taught or
replaced by computers. The classroom environment that great teachers
create inspires students and directs them toward achievement.
Computers don’t have human intelligence, sensitivity and intuition. It
cannot motivate, help students through their struggles or help them
fight back. Also, its unable to change human behavior.
Technology can't give kind and motivating feedback, which affects
students' learning and empathy. So, teachers can provide support and a
listening ear to students who are struggling.
Because of their human nature, teachers are better than computers. A
teacher is a bridge between knowledge and students. In short,
technology is just a tool, but teachers will always play an important role
in educating students.
