Machine vs human teacher

Can the machine ever be the teacher?

Yes, one has to agree on the fact that machines mark better than teachers, especially old and tired teachers. No more, " Ms so and so, You have wrongly counted my marks by 10 marks". More trust is placed on machines compared to teachers leading to the fact that about 50% important exams are marked by machines. This is also the case in Singapore where the multiple choice questions in the PSLE are marked by machines.

However, a teacher can never be replaced by a machine. I believe that a teacher is not just someone that imparts knowledge or someone that marks our essays. A teacher is someone that you communicate with, someone you can share your feeling with and someone that will be there for you. If your school is your second home, your teachers are your elder brothers and sisters of a big family. Imagine school without a guide to prevent us from being led astray

Therefore, I believe very strongly teachers should remain as humans
