Know why? A robot will ell children exactly what they are told to and nothing else. Talk about mainlining the propaganda machine.

Not going to happen. If they want to pay damn near minimum wage for teacher, how the hell are they going to justify what costs of the robots are going to be. Going to be at least 5X the cost of a teacher before the subscription.

And you're going to need one for every single classroom. And I don't know about you but when we were growing up we were kind of mean to her teachers and I can't imagine what that would look like for a teacher that's not actually capable of fighting back.....

As a teacher, I can confirm they will be twitching in the corner of the classroom faster than a just-out-of-college substitute teacher.
