Will There Still Be Schools and Teachers in the Future?

Many people claim that someday, schools and teachers will eventually extinct. We can see that today, with the rapid pace of development in Information Technology, such as E-Learning, Internet, and such made people are more and more independent in study and rely less and less on their teachers.

I do agree that students rely less and less on their teacher. In most modern curriculum, students are forced to be more active in learning, and with the advent of technology and ease of access to information on their hands, they can easily find the materials they need to study on the Internet, so they'll rely less to their teachers.

In the other hand, teachers' role is still not replaceable. Even though that we are now able to learn by ourselves without teachers, but often, there's a material on the Internet that we can't understand well, and the only one who can explain it is our teacher. Also, we of course can't learn by ourselves and still need to be taught by a teacher.

In the end, it is still clear that we can never replace teachers' role. It doesn't matter if we can learn and find all the information by ourselves, but we still need a teacher in many situations when we face a difficult question to solve, or a difficult to understand theory. So, we can say that for a very long time, teachers will still play important role in education.
