Debate

What is the view from the other side of the argument? While researching a debate poll concerning computers replacing teachers, arguments that supported the idea were repetitive in bringing up the points that: schools can save their money by using technology to improve/provide other things for the students instead of paying teachers, you can find all the answers to your questions through a computer unlike a teacher, computers are more efficient and time saving, and that we are becoming more and more dependent on technology so it's only natural to use computers instead of teachers. Although there is some truth to these points, is it significant enough to enforce the change?

In arguments against replacing teachers, reiterate the importance of human interaction as the best form of learning and that as efficient the use of technology may seem to be, it does more harm than good to the students. Compared to the arguments in support of computers replacing teachers in advancing education in the debate poll, according to an article in Times of India, an Indian English-language daily newspaper, " A 2000 report from a US organization comprising of educationists and health professionals-Alliance for Childhood-stated that instead of raising the standard of learning, computers are actually negating the healthy development of young students". To provide a middle ground, or balance, it especially depends on the parents to be important enforcers, for " the learning process begins at home."
