#reading AI Will Not Replace Teachers “AI will replace teachers.” ❌ Not true. “AI will change education in one night.” ❌ Also not true. AI is here to support creativity, personalize learning, and reduce teachers’ workload — not to take control. But if the education system stays focused only on memorizing and strict rules, calling AI a “partner” makes no sense. Automating an old system doesn’t fix it. It only makes old problems faster and bigger. Real progress starts when we rethink the whole system. AI can help students: • ask better questions • think creatively • think critically • learn more independently AI will not replace teachers. But it can help remove systems that no longer serve students. Agree 👍 Disagree 😍 Should think ❤️
