Can Computers Replace Teachers?

Why are men excluded?

Also women have always getting lower grades in every class except Home ec, since that's all women do is home ec.

 

Because men are distracted from their work by women, that's why men in all boys schools do better.

If only! In general women do better than men in almost every subject, however the best in any given subject (including HE) is almost always a man. I think it's because all men are borderline autistic.

 

Except that if computers can be able to have a sexual relationship with both male and female, the men would be distracted by that instead. And plus women are never in the classroom anyways.

No, because women are never allowed to do anything else other than be in the kitchen, that's why men are getting high marks (because they're not distracted by women) and because women don't participate in other subjects because they are occupied in the kitchen (home ec class).

 

You're living in the past, man, quit living in the past!

 

It started as a teacher vs pc argument and ended up as a men vs women on grades argument. Seesh!

On the creative thinking of Deep Blue. Creative thinking based purely on a logic and matematic sport as chess is not creative thinking. Computer wins simply cause it calculates numbers faster. Chess strategy is purely prediction based on logic.

Still computers can't replace teachers. You can put a pa on a classroom and teach something using ot entirely...But who put all the information inside the computer? Does a computer know how to present information in a understandable way? I doubt. Does a computer can explain something in another way other than what was put inside of it? Nope. And the list goes on and on.

 

Actually the chess grandmaster accused IBM of cheating because Deep Blue avoided a trap set by the man in one of the games using creative thinking.

You can teach computers anything. It doesn't matter who put the information on the computer as I've pointed out already. I mean, who puts all the information on a teacher? It's irrelevant. As for presenting information in an understandable way or in another way from the way it was taught it, recent breakthroughs in ANNs (Artificial Neural Nets) make this possible, so over the next ten to twenty years it could be easily possible for computers to replace teachers in a variety of subjects.

You don't teach a computer. You just input information in it. To make it present information, you would have to program it to do so. And even if you do, you'll have to fine tune it later if it has some problems with it.

That would be a great turning point. Teachers are not well paid, and are human beings. Computers on the other side, have a fixed market cost and can be easilly controled.

 

Take a look at ANNs, they get taught.

 

The point is that teachers are programmed just like computers. They just go about it in a way that people can understand. Like English.

 

It all depends on the capacity of the student to learn and what the student is interested in.

If the student is able to learn more quickly and efficiently in an interactive environment, then computers will certainly do the job. However, I prefer being taught by a human teacher because computers can't quite reach the level and complexity of the human mind. It has no creativity, only logic therefore, being taught by computers (NOT playing video games) is just plain boring (kinda like talking to college astrophysics professors).

It comes without mentioning that computers don't have sexy voices and voluptuous bodies. Nothing beats education without a little intimacy.... and skin.

 

Yes and No

Yes for due to how much teachers are costing us and the fact that there is a limit to them. If the robots can do more than teacher -adult supervision- then yes. If robots also are the janitors then yes.

No due to programming if you had a gym teacher who is a robot he or she probably would let you do less than 50 push-ups cause 50 is the bare minimum by scientific studies for 15 year old boys or girls
