No doubt machines can teach students more efficiently than humans do. The mechanical teachers are robotic and they can evaluate the assignment in no time. They can tell how a child is performingbut can never tell why the child is performing badly. In the story, ‘The Fun They Had’ Margie wasdoing badly in Geography because her mechanical teacher was very fast in displaying questionnaire.Moreover, it was above the level of her age and intelligence. The machine could not understandMargie’s ability to understand his style of teaching. So, the mechanical teacher was boring toher, and failed to develop an affectionate bond with the child. Whereas, the human teacher canunderstand the psychology of a pupil. He or she can look into the overall development of the child.Moreover, there is a close and affectionate touch between the human teacher and the taught. So,machines cannot replace the human teacher.
