Digital School

The 19th century brought us the Industrial Revolution. The 20th century brought us wars. The brand new 21th century brings us the Internet and the best technolegy EVER. Almost every factory owns robots and computers, which do the cleaning or gather the garbage. The last decade was the first round for new technolegy -  artificial intelligence. Not far, in the near future, we will see robots who function like real people: Robo - bartender, Robo - scarecrow and even (real) Robo - cop. But what about education? Will computers and robots replace our flesh and blood teachers? 



Computers , not as people, are programmed to do something, and this only. If they would be(gr.-are) programmed to teach math - they will teach math, and math only, without giving the class any other information about themselves or about their pesonal opinon about the material, such as -different methods to solve a problem. The teacher is human, so he gives the class more information about the material, and the class understand(gr.) it better.


Another thing that a computer can't provide is after school help. Today, if a student doesn't understand the homework, he can make a call to his teacher and ask him what to do and ask him to explain the material again in the class. But a computer cannot provide such (a) thing, beacuse that artificial intelligence isn't so(ww. - such) advanced technolegy and we can't use it for robots/computers.



To conclude, maybe a computer can proccess calculations better than humans, but it designed different(gr.) from human, so it can't provide many things that a human can.


This better. Good work.

By the way, you are still missing 2 tasks: the letter of opinion to your principal and a formal letter asking for information.
