Computer, as the most powerful tool in 21 century, is widely used in education areas. Whether computers can instead of teachers become a controversial issue. From my point, I dont think computers can take the place of teachers.
First and foremost, computer cannot communicate with students. Every human being has feeling. Teachers are not only teaching students knowledge but also showing their loves to students when they are teaching. How to have a conversation with others and how to take care of others can be learned from teachers. For example, teacher can take you to the hospital when you are sick. In comparison, computers cannot likely to it.
Secondly, computers cannot help students when the get confused. Asking teachers is the best way to do when students get any quires. However, computers do not have this function. Study is a two-way process, teachers can excite students imaginations and fire their creations.
Last but not least, computers cannot organize teaching activities instead of teachers. Take England as an example, students need to do a lot of practical experiments, especially in physics and chemistry. When they do these experiments, students usually work together as a group and discuss with teachers. Team work is a very important part to shape students personalities.
From what has been discussed above, we might safely say that computers can never take the place of teachers. We should always remember that human beings are the host of technology and computer is a machine no matter how clever it is!
