A New Way of Teaching

I was reading an article about a teacher trying to educate her class on how terrible segregation was by hanging signs like "White Only" and Colored". You can find the article I read here. After attempting to show her class what life was like then and help them gain respect for others, she was suspended from her job.

This made me think about our final project and how it could be used to educate people of all ages about racism. But also how this teacher who seems to have had good intentions may now lose her job because she was trying to be a source of information for her students.
Technology might really be taking over sooner than we think. The conversations we had earlier in the semester about robot teachers and them being programmed to only teach specific materials is sadly upon us in a way.

Not only can teachers be replaced by technology but it is already an issue of having students obsessed with their phones during class times.
Who is really in charge of educating students?
