The way that kids and students learn has changed drastically ever since the start of the world wide web. We no longer need schools or teachers to acquire information or knowledge.

What we need teachers for now is to teach how to interpret the information that we find, to verify its authenticity, and when & how to challenge that information.

With AI (still hate that term) it has become easier than ever to use shortcuts in thinking. Why figure out of the answer when you can just have the answer presented to you? Big Brother loves you!

Teachers are more important than ever, lest we want a society of sheep that can only think as far as the internet and AI let them, which by this point is largely controlled by tech giants and governments. See Information Warfare.
