Based on your list of advantages and disadvantages, decide on your own position. Write one paragraph to explain why you prefer one side over the other. Support your views with strong reasoning as well as examples, evidence and/or illustrations.
I think i would prefer the disadvantage. Although the robot teacher could be our walking thesaurus, and have lots of memory space, so what? We must also see if the robots knows how to teach. If the robots do not know how to teach, then what is the use of creating them? We would rather just have human teachers, having flexible minds, less freaky, more friendly, etc. If the robots replaced the human teachers, the teachers would just starve to death as they are not working and not making money.
