Will There Still Be Schools And Teachers In The Future? (Sarah Khairunnisa Adwiarto)

School is a place designed for students under the responsibility by Teachers. Schools relate to teachers and also students.

School is a place where we can be educated academically, mentally, spiritually, physically, and socially. That's why government require us to go to school at least 9 years (in Indonesia).

Some people would say there will be no schools or teachers in the future. It could be possible and also impossible, everything based on our visions. Technology is really booming this century and it really affect how teachers introduce the subject to the students and how students get the materials from the teachers. I don't think that school or teacher is going to be replaced by technology such as Internet and so on, because it looks like they are helping each other and also needing each other.

It is true that students are prefer studying with technology such as Internet and they don't need to discuss the materials with teachers because Internet is enough?  Internet is really open wide for everybody who wants to browse it. Students are very lucky that they can make their homework and send it to teacher by email, facebook or blog and now we have Google, internet is very helping students nowadays. Perhaps, in the future, Internet is over enough for students to explore the world. 

But Internet is not everything, Mostly students can not learn on their own or use the Internet itself, which may be the material contained in the Internet doesn't correspond with the level of their brain. Also, teachers are really helping our brain to grow by answering our question about materials that we don't understand. Facebook, twitter, or other social networking are not enough to help us socialize with people and friends. We can not learn lessons in our real life. The online games are not helping us in our physical body. May be we can sweat because too excited playing online games, but it does not healthy at all, it makes our eyes not healthy and lazy and our brain infected by radiation and etc. Our future have to be more healthy than present.

To conclude, I would like to say there will be teachers and schools in the future. Internet made by someone who had been schooling for years and used to be tought by teacher. I believe human intelligence will always be higher than artificial intelligence. Future will probably have teachers and also schools but they introduce the materials without whiteboard/blackboard but projector or something hi-tech, I would know that in the future.
