does anyone know the latest news about the robot teachers?

are they working out? are the numbers increasing? have they all been scrapped yet?

have the kids figured out how easy it is to disable them? Laughing

I'd like to know that too.

I know how quickly they are able to make the whiteboards, markers, touchscreen, pencil sharpener, etc... inoperable. I'd imagine with something with as many moving parts and Korean designed software they'd have it broken within minutes. That's why it is so laughable to me. Especially the older kids.

I could see a group of maybe 10 K-2nd grade students getting a kick out of this thing. 3-6th will tear it apart.
