If you think of the jobs robots could never do, doctors and teachers may be your answers. It’s easy to imagine smart cleaners and robot factory workers, but some jobs really need human thinking and creativity（创造力）. Nowadays, robots already do a better job than doctors in hospitals in some way. Could there be a place for robots in education?

British expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. He believes in 2027 robots will do the main job of passing information and teachers will just help. They can even read students’ faces, movements and brain activities. However, it’s not a popular idea and it’s impossible that robots will really connect with humans like another human can.

But one thing is certain. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get tired or move somewhere for a better job. Perhaps the question is not “Can robots do everything instead of teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” If robots could help to save the time teachers spend on students’ homework and reports, teachers would have more time and energy（精力）for the parts of the job humans do best.
