| Will schools/teachers be automated too?
As you know, so many things are becoming automated now as companies want to save money.
Do you think schools will be automated in the future?
I was curious about it so I google searched it, and looks like it's been a talk too. As technology improve, educational system will change in the future.
You might argue union will fight it, but as you seen on "HUMANS NEED NOT APPLY" video, history shows that when it comes to labor cuts union will ALWAYS LOSE.
It's possible because:
- We already have home schooled kids & well reputable universities are offering online degrees too.
- Internet made it possible that teacher can give lecture to students online
- VR technology will improve even more, make it more realistic than Skype.
- Many teachers from high school and professors from university prefer students to email their projects/homework. Not physically hand them in so that teachers will have to carry them around to the office.
It is likely going to happen because:
- Government will save tons of money on labor (teachers, TAs, maintenance) and physically building a school will cost them multi million $ a school and cost them billions to maintain it.

I don't necessarily think they'll be "automated" just that it'll be delivered differently than what we're traditionally used to. Maybe figuring out the course work and analyzing trends and building everything out for you.
Like you said there are already options out there to do degrees online as well as different courses. You can even take Stanford and MIT courses online without having to pay anything.
To name a few: iPad - iTunes U - Apple https://www.khanacademy.org/ https://www.codecademy.com/ https://www.coursera.org/
Some paid ones: https://www.udemy.com/courses/ https://www.codeschool.com/
I don't see too much of a downside to making this available, the smarter the human race gets the further we can go.

from everything I've seen a lot of elementary/high school teachers are already automated and are just in it for a pay cheque and not for the love of teaching and the kids like they used to.

I think it depends on the student and the learning style that best suits them, but I would strongly support having automated/online/electronic courses available for kids.
The main benefit I see to having schools remain the same as they are now, is for helping kids develop socializing skills.

But it does cost billions of $ to build schools and maintain them as well.
Hire all the people who work at school, pay the hydro, pay the repair and all the other incidentals, etc.

I think it will cut cost int he long run.
Like you mention students can log online do the whole VR classroom and learn. Literally you won't need like 4 to 5 difference math teachers in one school. All you need is maybe 40 to 50 total or less to teach every high school in Canada with VR technology and internet. It could be good but I also see some negative side effect. With this technology kids won't even require to actually go to school to make friends, learn to communicate with others, also there will be next to no exercise for kids. I am seeing less and less kids going to the park, playing outside. We don't need more of them just staying home all day. There is also a study found that a lot of kids these kids have no issue building, creating something using tablets but if you give them a lego set, actually brick and ask them to follow instruction to build something they CAN'T. They are too use to the 2D asspect from tablets that doing anything in real left is a challenge for them.
If humans do make it pass 100 years from now people might not even need to go school. We could just feed all the knowledge into our brain directly (Like Matrix). If you want to learn to be an accountant? No problem. Just paid for the it and have all the related course/material feed right into your brain. Want higher education? Just pay for it. I can see the rich will not get get richer but have more knowledge. While the poor will hardly have money for any education and stuck doing low end jobs forever.
