1 Many people believe that there won't beany schools in the future. Instead, students willlearn at home with the help of a personalcomputer and the Internet.2 It is true that technology plays a big part inlearning today. In many parts of the world, students use personal computers to write theirschool assignments or keep notes of lectures, What's more, students go online to look upuseful information or do an online course, 3 However, computers will never be able toreplace teachers. Teachers motivate their students, help them out with difficult tasks, answer theirquestions and give clear explanations. Moreover, teachers show young children how to behave andact as role models for them.4 To sum up, technology can help studentslearn things. Unfortunately, it cannot offer themthe inspiration and support that teachers can. ​
