Will there still be school and teachers in the future?

Children need education. So parents send their children to school where there are teachers in it. Teachers transfer knowledge  to their students. But as we can see, technology to share knowledge  is developing quickly and we can get knowledge from everywhere but the teachers, for example books and the internet. In the future,  this technology will be more advanced than now for sure. So will schools still needed in the future?

Technology is advancing fast. There’s so many things that we can get from technology, sometimes even more than what teachers can give. Nowadays, children can just  “google” almost anything they want to know. What about in the future? Information  will be more easily available than now. So why don’t we just learn from technology and stop go to school?

                What we should know about school and teachers is that  they don’t only transfer knowledge. There are many other things that teachers give in schools, such as ethics, moral and much more. And in school, students make friends with each other. That’s what the technology doesn’t provide. And also technology doesn’t teach. Children have to learn from technology by themselves. Technology complements teachers and schools beside  books. So in my opinion, schools and teachers are education. If children need education, they need school and teachers. There will still be school and teachers in the future, but maybe the learning process will be different depending on the technology by then.
