Chitchat Brace yourself educationalists, for the rise of robot teachers and ensuing redundancy

[droopal]

The advent of the driverless taxis, buses and vehicles, herald in the army of the robotic teachers.
It marks the end of the humble noble profession that was once the beacon of many young minds.

As our young minds continue to be imbued in technological sophistication, these robot teachers
are the ultimate cost effective machines to quell the insatiable appetite of our young's in their quest for knowledge.

It is the humble noble professionals that are the ironic casualties of technological advancement, threatening their livelihood.

Here where I'm attending courses at a community college for my associate degree in clinical psychology, I've to read a lot of materials and complete assignments that've been uploaded to the college's website.

I guess students in East Asia still need teachers (spoon-feeding??) but here in my adopted country, you've to do most of the things yourself.

Aiya... robot teaching is good! This will free up more time for school teachers to plan excursions, manage CCAs, communicate with parents and discipline wayward children.
