If for any reason having a robot in the classroom makes any sense, don't make it human-like and creepy. At least give it a cool sci-fi look.

The robot will remain seated, which means it's a free-for-all in the classroom. That thing will have a garbage can on it's head or pushed over on day one. What happens in an emergency? What happens if there's an active shooter? Pay real people to teach.

All the big tech advances invented for porn. Of course. "First, we need to get off more. Oh, it does something else? Cool, should be worth a billion soon."

Translated from Bullshit: The oligarchs don't feel that poor students in rural schools deserve a real education.

Why not offer scholarships to teaching students who will spend X number of years teaching in a rural school upon graduation? These humans then spend $ in these rural communities & their property taxes go towards funding rural schools? Wtf good is a robot to the community? This isn’t that hard.

Why use creepy physical bots? Seems like a lot of extra expense and complication for something that brings very little actual benefit.

building towns people want to live and work in is hard. it’s more expensive and less effective to make beta level robots to be present in a classroom while your child “learns” on a tablet, but we’re gonna do that instead anyway.

Or we could just, I don't know, actually fund our education system and pay for actual god damn teachers instead of funnelling yet more money into the hands of obscenely wealthy Silicon Vally nazis. Just a thought.

If it isn’t a real person then there is no need to be human-like in fact it would be likely more successful to have a robotic bird teach the children. Unless of course the goal is to train the children to become accustomed to being controlled by AI and to submitting to its presumed authority 🤖

Will they be armed? I guess we won't know if they lean more Autobot or Decepticon until they're put in a situation. Meanwhile, I'm sure they're recording everything. Sounds like a great idea.
