Will We Need Teachers Or Algorithms?

In my last post, I argued that software will take over many of the tasks doctors do today.?And what of education? We find a very similar story of what the popular ? and incredibly funny! ? TED speaker Sir Ken Robinson calls ?a crisis of human resources.? At the TED 2010 conference, he stated that ?we make poor use of our talents.? In the same way that we misuse the talents and training of doctors, I believe we misuse the talents and training of teachers. But I want to comment on what I consider a far greater misuse of talent and training: that of our children/students. We have focused so much of our education system on children attending primary school, then middle school, then high school, all with the objective of attending university, that this is a progression that still remains unchanged. Yet, this system is completely linear and, most tragically, unwaveringly standardized not only through instruction methods, but also through testing. Worse it is mostly ?fixed time , variable learning?.
