Adventures in Pencil Integration: will technology replace teachers? - 0 views

  • "So you're saying that as long as we have parents working and essentially getting free babysitting we'll have teachers."   "Yes, I guess so.  Don't get me wrong, I value education and my role as a teacher.  It's just that the primary role of a teacher is socialization.  No one says it outright.  We talk about learning to read and yes, that's true.  But on some level, schools raise kids while parents work."
